More Details
Vidatak EZ Communication Boards have been developed by hospital patients and clinicians to improve communication in hospitals, when patients are in situations where they are unable to speak. These communication boards are designed to communicate important messages relating to emotions, immediate needs, and to describe levels of pain. An alphabet, arranged in an "abc" layout is available as an option, so spelling can also be used.
Vidatak EZ Picture Communication Boards have simple clear colour pictures with text above the picture.
These communication boards have been designed by the Children's Hospital Boston as a light technology solution for people in a hospital setting who are unable to speak.
In Australia Vidatak EZ Communication Boards are being used by ambulance services and hospitals. They also have application for use at home and in residential care facilities where a person has an acute health condition and is not able to speak.
Considerations
Consider if this communication board will provide useful vocabulary to meet a person's immediate needs, where they may have an acute or chronic health condition.
People who are unable to speak or who have speech that is difficult to understand will require a comprehensive communication system. This may be a customised light technology solution. Speech generating devices are also available where an ongoing communication system is required.
Please contact a speech pathologist for further advice, where further assistance with communication is needed.
