This board is a multipurpose versatile tool that allows children to visually represent how they are feeling or help to display emotions in any circumstance. It can also help children understand what will be happening next and can be used with a variety of symbols.
The Swing-O-Meter communication tool can be used in a variety of ways.
- It can help a child to show what their choice is. – Add 3 images or symbols representing the choices of tasks that the child can do, and the child can move the arrow to indicate what their choice preferences are.
- The board can be used as a schedule board by removing the emotion tiles and replacing them with your own symbols. (These are attached using hook tape)
- Help a child understand what to do next by moving the pointer arrow to the correct symbol e.g. toilet, wash hands and dry hands.
The set comes with 6 mini 45mm square dry wipe tiles and a fine line dry wipe marker pen to create your own communication tiles.
Further blank tiles and picture symbol tiles that can be used with this set are available to purchase separately.
