How to Customize Communication Boards for Every Situation

Empowering Communication with Customizable, AI-Assisted AAC Boards

For non-verbal individuals, communication boards are more than just tools—they’re bridges to connection, independence, and self-expression. But every situation, from school to doctor visits, brings unique communication needs. That’s where customizable, AI-powered AAC boards and scenario-based communication boards come in.

In this guide, we’ll walk you through how to create and tailor communication boards for specific situations using SpeakAnyWay’s intuitive, AI-assisted platform. Whether you’re a caregiver, teacher, or therapist, these steps will help you support meaningful communication wherever life takes you.


Step 1: Identify the Situation and Goals

Start by pinpointing the setting where the board will be used:

  • School: Classroom routines, social interactions, asking for help.

  • Doctor Visits: Describing symptoms, answering questions, expressing comfort or discomfort.

  • Home: Daily routines, choices for meals or activities, expressing feelings.

Ask yourself:


What does the communicator need to express in this scenario? Who will use the board with them?


Step 2: Let SpeakAnyWay’s AI Suggest Relevant Vocabulary

Here’s where SpeakAnyWay’s AI shines.


When you describe your scenario (like “school morning routine” or “doctor’s appointment”), our platform’s AI automatically suggests the most relevant vocabulary, phrases, and even board layouts based on best practices and real-world usage.

  • Save time brainstorming—AI does the heavy lifting!

  • Get recommendations tailored to your specific situation and user’s needs.

  • Easily review, accept, or modify AI suggestions to fit your communicator’s voice.


Step 3: Organize and Personalize Your Board

With your AI-recommended content as a starting point, you can:

  • Arrange vocabulary by importance or frequency.

  • Group related words (e.g., emotions, actions).

  • Use drag-and-drop to customize the layout.

  • Add personal touches—photos, symbols, or custom phrases.


Step 4: Fine-Tune with AI-Powered Layout Recommendations

Not sure how to organize your board for clarity and speed?


SpeakAnyWay’s AI offers layout suggestions designed for quick, intuitive use—especially in high-stress or fast-paced environments like doctor visits or classrooms.

  • AI helps ensure critical phrases are easy to find.

  • Color-coding and grouping are suggested for optimal accessibility.


Step 5: Test, Collaborate, and Refine

Try the board in the actual setting.

  • Gather feedback from the communicator and their support team.

  • Make instant edits—SpeakAnyWay’s AI can continue to suggest improvements as you use the board.

  • Collaborate with family, teachers, and therapists in real-time.


Spotlight: How SpeakAnyWay’s AI Makes Customization Effortless

  • Scenario-Based Suggestions: Enter your scenario and let AI recommend what’s most helpful.

  • Smart Vocabulary Expansion: The platform learns from your edits, suggesting new words or phrases as your needs evolve.

  • Personalization at Scale: Build unique boards for school, home, doctor visits, and more—without starting from scratch every time.


Why AI-Driven Customization Matters
