North Lanarkshire council installs new communication boards across play areas to make them easier to use for children and young people who are non-verbal or have limited speech. The boards are being developed by the council’s Community Partnership Team. They are designed to support communication through simple images, symbols and text, helping children express needs and understand information in the play environment. Multiple outlets report that the boards are being placed in play locations across the North Lanarkshire area, indicating a rollout beyond a single site. The coverage describes the boards as a practical support tool for inclusive access to outdoor play, aimed at improving day-to-day interaction and understanding for children who may have difficulty communicating verbally. Both reports focus on the same development source and the same core features—simple visual and written prompts—suggesting a consistent approach to communication support across the council’s play areas.
