Well done Charleston County Parks!

You may have noticed some of these communication boards placed at some of our playgrounds, most recently at Isle Of Palms County Park with funding from the Charleston County Parks Foundation.

These boards are a composition of images and support inclusive play on our playgrounds allowing children with limited verbal communication to connect with other kids or their caregivers in real time.

They also foster awareness that children with disabilities can actively participate in play when given the right tools, and promote empathy and acceptance by teaching children about different communication needs and abilities. It’s truly a learning tool for all kids as children can improve their reading skills, build picture-object associations, and learn new words with guidance from adults.
