Need an easy, portable, low-tech resource for your early communicators or AAC students? Look no further!
I created these flip boards so I always had a resource to grab for visual supports and communication. I had too many kids coming in with dead AAC devices! It’s a great back up option!
I also love sending these home with parents to empower them to give visual support to their children at home!
I have included 3 versions. All contain identical vocabulary and only differ in their color coding as shown below:
1 – All blacklines, no color coding used
2 – Colored using the Modified Fitzgerald Key
3 – Colored using the model from Goossens, Grain, & Elder
NOTE: Each version of the book is 5 printable pages in length. The overall product page length is longer due to instruction pages and the inclusion of several versions.
Pages included are as follows:
Core, Core 2, Feelings, Games, Books, Conversation, Art, Food, Playdoh, and Actions.
Additionally, I’ve included “beginner” core boards. These boards are the same as the regular core boards except for there are only 10 symbols on each page. The symbols are in the same locations so it will be easy to update immediately to regular version when possible. There are 3 beginner boards included, one for each color coding system.
This product is based off of these AAC principles:
1) Motor Memory:
In this product, if a word is repeated on several pages (e.g., âopenâ on both books and games pages) it will be in the same place. Note how “good” and “bad” are in the same locations on the fringe pages in the last 2 preview pictures shown above.
2) Core Vocabulary:
No matter what page you are on, you have access to core vocabulary! Because it is always open, it will save time in becoming familiar with it! The icons will never move and will always be available. This will provide you vocabulary you can adapt and use with ANY activity. Get creative!
3) Limited Fringe/Specific Vocabulary:
You might be looking at this thinking, there wasnât a page including for x, y, or z. Donât let that hinder you! Iâve used this book with a wide variety of activities and there is ALWAYS vocabulary you can use and target. Donât forget about phrases like âget thatâ, âup thereâ, or âmineâ.
4) Vocabulary Selection:
I’ve chosen vocabulary on each page very selectively! I’ve included a variety of words, not just nouns. There are tons of verbs and adjectives and an entire fringe page for conversation!
I included full page versions of every page in that printing the pages that way is easier for you.
Last, I added some bonus pages for “music”, “calendar”, “community”, and “work” (vocabulary for older students who are in transition programs) in case they’d be useful for you! Enjoy!

Love all your materials, and will absolutely use these with my mod-severe preschool students. The only thing I wish is that there were tabs for the fringe pages to make it easier to flip to correct pages quickly and easily. Otherwise, fabulous product!

Anne S. –
I’m very excited to try this out. My ECSE department has used activity boards in the past and I’m interested in seeing how the core vocab strategy works. I’m also interested in if my 3-5 yr olds can learn the system. I tried it today with a super smart electively mute child who will be going to kindergarten next year. He was pointing to some pictures already. I hope it motivates him to start using his spoken language, like signing often does for kids.

We absolutely love this product. I bought and put together my first board this week and my young apraxia client who is waiting for his iPad/AAC device took right to it. Thank you so much for all of your hard work that was put into this product! Will you be adding more pages? i.e., more food, clothing, family choices in another product too? Just curious, as I would snatch those up too! đ Thanks again, Manda

I’ve had great success providing aided language modeling for a variety of clients in early intervention with this product. Several are learning to navigate to their preferred words (like “uh oh”) and are much more vocal when they have this visual support. I appreciate the options for color coding and the consideration of motor memory. Now I just have to invest in some waterproof paper as these are well-loved by families and often get covered in liquids, smearing the ink even on my laminated cardstock!
Courtney D. –
This is a wonderful product!

It would be helpful if each page was numbered and/or if the process was noted (even small, up in a corner would be nice). I haven’t used it yet but it looks like it’s exactly what I need

I like how clear and simple the images are. Can’t wait to print and laminate!
Jenna C. –
The best low-tech resource I have come across! It’s great that the core words are always visible but allows for expansion and communicating more complex feelings/ideas. This resource allows you to use the same symbols/system while also allowing the child’s communication skills to grow.

Courtney S. –
This resource has been a great way to help my students expand their ways of communication.

This is great to have on hand for those students who are trialing different types of AAC.
Amy O. –
All the AAC is wonderful to have, these are no exception. I love using the pages as needed per the activity and love that there’s some consistently in terms of the placement of the pictures and these are easily transitioned into an AAC device! Great backup lowtech to have available for students too!
Sara O. –
Easy to use
Grace E. –
Included a lot of relevant core and fringe vocabulary that was relevant to any activity.
Whitney B. –
This was really helpful for a kiddo who has some significant speech/language deficits. It’s helping him get less frustrated in class when he is trying to communicate something to his teachers.

Awesome, quick resource. Helping my hyperlexic student learn language with the written and visual reinforcers. Actually, had the interpreter add the childâs L1 next to the English and parents loved it.
Elizabeth Habisohn –
So grateful!!!
Jade M. –
Definitely a wonderful resource for the price! I appreciate that there are different color-coded versions of the same content. The organization is great.

Great low tech AAC for higher functioning students. Thanks!!

Very well organized and easy to use! Love it!

Louise T. –
Well made
Little Miss Speech –
This has been so great to have on hand to pull out in order to support my kiddos with language development.
Mallory O. –
I was glad to find this resource for my students using CORE boards. I was disappointed, however, to see the lack of diversity in the icons. Most of the images show Caucasian icons. It is important for kids to see themselves represented whenever possible – especially in their forms of communication. This is still a great product, I just wish it included a variety of skin tones on the pages.
Gianna S. –
Great resource for AAC.
Morgan L. –
Very easy to use and practical vocabulary
Robin W. –
Loved this to use with my nonverbal students.
Amber H. –
You can always count on Speechy Musings to put together a comprehensive resource and this low-tech AAC option is no exception. I appreciate that the different models are included, as well as beginner core boards.
Brandie A. –
Enjoyed this resource
The Vowel Shop –
Was short for time and didnât have any AAC boards/books readily available in my setting. I used this book with two students who had severe motor speech involvement so that they would have a communication back up. They kids loved the book, and so did their parents! The colourful pictures are also a nice change from some of the more basic AAC icons.
Heather Hamilton –
Perfect!
Katie’s Speech Cave –
This came in so handy when my student broke his AAC device and I needed a quick back-up!

Great place to start with low-tech AAC!
Jeanna L. –
Love this resource!!
Jena M –
Awesome low tech resource to have in a pinch!
Audrey V. –
I’ve used this book with a variety of students when they have no other mode of communication. I like the core vocabulary pages, but don’t find the other pages as useful.
Brenna A. –
Great resource with practical word choices, topics that allow for easy practice using the board, and good layout!
Alexandria V. –
Love this to introduce AAC!
Practical Pre-K SLP –
This $5 resource has become a priceless tool for several of the 3- to 5-year-olds I work with as a preschool speech-language pathologist. Most of the students I have introduced this board to have strong receptive language skills, but are functionally preverbal with no previous AAC experience. They have picked up on its use so quickly! If you find that single-page low-tech core boards or bulky PECS binders are not working for you, please consider this resource! I also appreciate the thought that went into the consistent placement of core words repeated across the themed pages. My only wish is that there was an option to customize the icons so that familiar symbol sets could be used.
Tracey N. –
Love this resource
Kelly S. –
I love that I can just print and go with this resource! Very helpful for my AAC users.
Es Amore Designs –
Excellent resource!
AAC in Action –

Jennifer P. –
Shannon always makes incredibly useful, easy to implement resources and they are worth every penny. The flip boards are a great light tech option for my students and I have the AAC implementation tool kit, and every other visual activity/resource that she creates. I always come back for more!
Jessica S. –
These AAC flip boards are amazing!! They are easy to grab and use with students during speech sessions and especially when doing push-in therapy sessions during Center Time in the PreK room! The vocabulary one each board is well-thought-out and includes more than just nouns!! I use these flip boards ALL THE TIME!
Olivia C. –
Okay this is my new favorite core low tech board for my ASD classroom. I love that you put different pages for different topics/activities. Thank you so much!!

Liz O. –
I have purchased many AAC booklets over the years, but this is by far my most favorite. I love the way it is set up to where the fringe words are on the side of the book.

This resource is so handy! I printed one for all of my classrooms and the teachers requested more!

This is the best resource I’ve bought on TPT. I work with nonspeaking students and they do not have access to high tech devices. This has helped tremendously in the classroom. This is a no brainer! BUY IT!
Jessica C. –
This is the perfect low-tech AAC board! I use this with my students who are waiting for an AAC device and it’s so functional/helpful to use with them. I showed the AAC specialist in my school district and she said it was amazing!
Jennifer Harvey –
This was so helpful for my students who need more than a single core board. It was also very useful when my students had to have their voice output devices charged and we needed a quick alternative for their communication.
Speecha Roo –
Great books with colorful pictures! Super simple to use and the kids loved them!
Theresa D. –
Thank you!!
It is a good day to teach PreK –

angelique K. –
I really love this

I love these boards. I had a hard time finding ones that included what I wanted but weren’t overwhelming either. Bought during my first year as a grad student and I still use these just as much now as I did then! A staple for my materials (:
Noreen B. –
Thank you. This gave me a strong place to start

Sunnie Speech –
My students love using this item; easy to prep for use in the classroom; thanks!
Crooked River Communications –
I love this! I have so many students who need AAC to for augmentative, rather than alternative, communication. It’s been hard to find a low tech system that is comprehensive and accessible for my buddies who need help expressing words they have receptively. I’ve also adapted it to be dynamic for a buddy. I printed all the pages twice, and the non-core pages at 90% size, so that I could make each of the icons velcro and add a long velcro strip to be used as a sentence strip under the pages on the right. I can’t wait to see how my kids continue to grow with this as a resource!
Sarah R. –
Great resource! Students loved the core boards. Laminate them for longer use!
Yena F. –
It’s a good back-up option for those situations where your student’s device is dead/your student left it at home.

Quiet Voices Loud Minds SLP –
Exactly what I was looking for, I love all of the different options.
Star Speech and Language –
These are nice for quick communication around the classroom and as a stand in while students are waiting for evaluations for AAC. They are basic and sometimes a little tricky to navigate…obviously they can’t have everything on them…but sometimes I wish that more common things were included. I like that you can make your own pages to add but that was a little complicated for me to figure out.

Great resource for starter picture communication books
Ereeni Roulakis –
This was a great and easy to use resource with my students!
Tara B. –
These flip books are great AAC starters or back up options when devices are out of commission or forgotten. These books are easy to print and assemble so all teachers can have an AAC option at their fingertips. The vocabulary is appropriate for all of my Preschool through Elementary students.
Anaya R. –
I keep this in my push-in therapy bag in case one of my students needs it as a communication aid. This has helped save us from many tears.
Natasha A. –
Simple pictures that where easy enough for my students to recognise.
Barbie M. –
I have a few non verbal students with AAC’s. I bought this low tech board to keep with me when I take them on sensory breaks and they do not have their devices. It comes in very handy when they need to communicate needs to me.

Amy L. –
This has been so wonderful to use with kids that are either in the process of being assessed for AAC or who, for whatever reason, we aren’t getting a device for yet. It’s been awesome to print off and give to site teams and families alike!
Karen S. –
Easy to assemble. Like how repeated symbols are also in the same spot on a page!
Kaitlin C. –
This has been my favorite communication resource. I love that the core board can stay the same while we target fringe vocabulary based on the student’s interests and activities for the day. I keep this in my therapy bag and use it with a variety of children at my school, and the teachers have also loved seeing how the language can be modeled with their students who are having trouble communicating. It was easy to put together and the pictures are simple enough that the kids connect meanings to core words fairly consistently.

Elizabeth B. –
Iâve used this with a very bright student who is a verbal communicator. He has great comprehension, but often has trouble accessing his own speech. This helps him access his words in the moment across activities during the school day.
Brittany H. –
This is such a great go-to product for my young students with emerging speech and language who don’t need a high-tech device! Thanks for helping to save me so much time!
Cara K. –
Super helpful and quick way to start with low tech AAC options
Mister R Speech Room –
A fantastic resource I used for my AAC students! The teachers and I thoroughly enjoyed this resource and it was straight to the point and functional.
Traci Janssen –
Great resource. It would be helpful if there were ‘tabs’ on the page so you can easily identify the topic of the page and easily turn to that page. I liked that the resource included an editable page. A few more ‘topics’ pages targeting needs, reading, etc. would be beneficial.
Sunny Day Speech Academy –
These are so engaging! Our kids have loved them. Thankyou!

Such a helpful resource for introducing AAC in the classroom. I love the different specific boards. Very easy to prep, which is a bonus!
Alissa Acker –
I run several preschool special education groups with my early childhood special education teacher partners, and I printed a few of these to have in our classroom for our little friends. I was so grateful to have a low-tech communication booklet that is pretty comprehensive. I love how the pages are arranged, and was so thrilled when my little friends referenced and actually sought this out for communication interactions. In addition to using this with my small groupers, I also used this when my friends with high tech AAC devices had technical issues or dead batteries. It’s an excellent product that is very versatile.
Spry Speech –
Super helpful resource, thank you so much for providing it!

great resource for kids to have when communicating!

Great resource with TONS of visuals. Not my favorite pictures, but loved that it had multiple sizes so I was able to use the flip books while sitting with the child and used the full pages to put around the classroom for the student to access when near that center.
Hannah M. –
I love this resource and highly recommend it looking to implement core boards for various activities.
Minnesota Nice –
One of the best purchases I’ve made!
This AMAZING. I love everything about this — I use these with my students in my self-contained ASD room, and it’s been really great to use. I’ve used it as a low tech AAC, and also as sort of a bridge to get students prepared for a more high-tech AAC device. I also blew them up and made giant core boards to post in my classroom. I absolutely love this resource!
graciela gonzalez –

great resource
Kelly E. –
This is a great resource to print out and laminate for students who need AAC to communicate more effectively. One can be printed out for home use as well. Great to hand out to teachers and Paras to help supporting students right away while they are waiting for a digital AAC Device or just as extra support to model language throughout the day.

Great resource! I was able to customize it to fit my patient’s needs.
Simone P. –

Good Communication Book
It’s a pretty communication board and can be put together quickly. It’s not my favorite AAC communication book, but for some students it’s what they want to use.
Katherine K. –

Time Saver
No need to reinvent the wheel when it comes to AAC boards, these work great.
Susan M. –
An excellent resource to help nonverbal children communicate better.
I was so impressed and excited to use the resource with two of my learners but after printing it all out and training my TA and one of the learner support assistants, there was no support from the parents. Every part of this resource is beautiful, easy to see and learn, and the children enjoyed using it. They made noticeable progress and became quite confident when the class was unexpectedly closed. This is the first resource I will grab when having to teach a child with similar difficulties.
Abby G. –
Versatile resource
Lots of different pages and vocabulary to use in a variety of situations
Kaitlyn B. –
Comprehensive and easy-to-use AAC tool
The Printable Communication Book | Low-Tech, Core Vocabulary | AAC Flip Boards is an outstanding resource for supporting students with communication needs. The setup is clear, durable, and designed with practical use in mindâperfect for both classroom and therapy settings.
What I love most is how functional and adaptable it isâit provides access to essential core vocabulary and promotes independence for a wide range of learners. A high-quality, thoughtfully designed AAC resource thatâs truly worth it!
