COMMUNICATION BOARDS

 

Want to help make your community a more inclusive place for ALL?  We want to help!  We work with a wonderful organization, Smarty Symbols (run by an autism mama) to provide communication boards backed with funding by The Channing's Joy Foundation.

How do you get a board? 

To start, you will need to get approval by your local school or Parks and Rec department for the installation of a communication board (depending on where you are wanting to get a board). You can use this email template and fill in your information. 

You can also use the attached brochures for more detailed information when submitting your proposal:

Once you have approval and are ready to move forward with the process of funding and customizing your board, email us at hello@channingsjoy.com and we will help guide you through the rest of the process!

Currently, we have provided funds for over 62 boards in 19 different states with more to come!  You can be a part of this by donating here.

You can also support our efforts to place communication boards around the country by purchasing one of our inclusive playground shirts here!
