Inclusive board installed in Thatcham play park to support non-verbal children

A new communications board has been installed to support non-verbal children in Thatcham.

Thatcham Town Council has installed the board in Turnfields Play Area, on Chapel Street, which is designed to help children who experience difficulty with verbal communication, including those with Autism.

The colourful, easy-to-use board allows children to express themselves by pointing to symbols and images specifically selected for playground settings.

The inclusive addition is to ensure that every child can can share their thoughts and fully enjoy their time at the park.

The board is now available for use and forms part of the town council’s ongoing efforts to enhance accessibility across the community’s public spaces.
