What it is
Tobii Dynavox's Boardmaker is the symbol library special educators reach for first: visual schedules, choice boards, PECS-style communication boards, and social stories, all searchable from a 74,000-symbol library and printable or delivered digitally. It turns what used to be an evening of scissors and laminating into a ten-minute build.
