A Ballybay-Clones councillor has passed a motion calling on the Local Authority to provide communication boards in playgrounds and parks across the county.
The motion was raised by Fine Gael's Richard Truell, who says the boards would enable non-verbal children or those with additional communication needs to express themselves.
A communication board is a picture symbol board that can be used to enable a non-verbal child to make comments, requests or give a direction.

The user can gesture, point to, or blink at images on the board to communicate with others.
