Getting Dressed Board

Put on, take off, button up and zip up, with shirt, pants, socks, shoes and coat, and words such as itchy, too big and wet for saying how clothes feel.

These boards are in Irish, printed from the Irish boards in SpeakPad.

The top three rows are core words, such as I, want, more, stop and help, in the same places as in the SpeakPad app. The four rows underneath are the words for that place or occasion.

Print and keep close

Use A4 paper and the portrait or landscape orientation shown on each card. For US Letter, choose Fit to page. Print every page in a set, check that the words and pictures are easy to see and point to, then keep the pages together. Laminate if useful.

Use it together

Point to a picture as you say the word during everyday activities. Give the person time to respond in their own way; they do not have to copy you. Keep a core board nearby when using topic pages so words such as help, stop, and no stay available.

Make your own board in the app

These are starting points. To match someone’s own words, photos, and layout, print their board from SpeakPad. Open Caregiver Mode, tap More, then Print Board. You can choose the orientation and paper size, include linked boards, print each word as a card to cut out, and use larger text or black and white.
