A 30-word core vocabulary communication board for low-tech AAC use — built by a UK primary teacher for SEN and SEND settings.

Core vocabulary boards give non-verbal and minimally verbal pupils immediate access to the most useful, most frequently used words in the English language — words like want, help, more, stop, again — rather than only being able to request specific nouns. These words work across almost any activity, all day, every day.

What’s inside:
✓ One complete 30-cell core board, covering pronouns, requesting/protesting words, directional and positional words, and social words
✓ Clear, simple black-and-white icon set with word labels — easy to read, low visual clutter
✓ A4 print-ready layout

Best used:

Laminated and kept accessible at all times (not just during “communication time”)
Modelled by adults throughout the day (pointing to words while speaking), not just used by the pupil in isolation
As a bridge alongside speech, not a replacement — supports communication however a child communicates best
