Word board

A word board or communications board is a simple means to help people who have lost the ability to speak. A word board may typically be provided to those recovering after a stroke. To communicate, the user points at the relevant words, letters or symbols on the board. Typically the following are included:

Yes |No | ( ☺ ) | |Want| That

ABCD   EFG

HIJK   LMNOP
