LAMP Words for Life Manual Boards

LAMP Words for Life Manual Boards are low-tech communication supports based on the Language Acquisition through Motor Planning (LAMP) approach and the Words for Life vocabulary system. These boards provide consistent access to language through stable motor patterns and organised vocabulary layouts that support communication development.

 

Manual boards can be used alongside speech-generating devices or as a standalone communication system to help individuals express wants, needs, comments, feelings, and ideas across daily routines and social interactions.

 

The LAMP approach emphasises independent communication, motor learning, sensory respect, and language development through meaningful interaction rather than rote memorisation or prompting alone.

 

These supports are particularly beneficial for individuals with complex communication needs, autism, apraxia, motor planning differences, or emerging expressive language skills.
