Dorbrook Recreation Area

Monmouth County, NJ — A new step toward inclusive play and communication access is coming to Dorbrook Park with the installation and official unveiling of an Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) board, the first of its kind in the local park system.
The communication board is designed to support children and adults who are non-speaking, minimally speaking, or who benefit from visual language supports. By using symbols and pictures representing core words, social phrases, and common playground vocabulary, the board allows users to express needs, make comments, ask questions, and engage more fully with peers during play.
The installation at Dorbrook Park reflects a growing community commitment to accessibility and inclusion in everyday environments—not just clinical or school settings. Advocates emphasize that language learning and communication development happen best across natural contexts, especially in places where children gather, play, and interact.
Speech-language pathologists involved in the project highlight that AAC is not limited to individuals with complex communication needs, but can also benefit early language learners, children with language delays, and those developing social communication skills. Exposure to robust language models in real-world environments helps build vocabulary, support joint attention, and encourage reciprocal interaction between peers.
“This is about giving every child a voice at the park,” said one local clinician involved in the initiative. “When communication tools are available in community spaces, we reduce barriers and increase opportunities for connection.”
The board includes a range of core words such as go, stop, help, want, and play, along with fringe vocabulary related to playground equipment, social interaction, and emotions. Families, caregivers, and peers are encouraged to model language use on the board during play to support natural language development.
The AAC installation at Dorbrook Park is expected to serve as a model for future inclusive communication access points throughout Monmouth County parks and surrounding communities.
<h3>With Gratitude</h3>
This project would not have been possible without the generous support of our sponsors: the Red Bank Rotary, Spot On Therapy Services, Manasquan Bank, and Ivy Hill Preschool. Their commitment to inclusion and community access helped bring this vision to life and expand communication opportunities for all children.
Community members are invited to visit Dorbrook Park to explore the board, learn how it works, and experience how simple tools can create meaningful access for all communicators.
<h3>About AAC</h3>
Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) includes all forms of communication beyond spoken language, including gestures, pictures, communication boards, and speech-generating devices. AAC supports individuals of all ages in expressing themselves and participating more fully in daily life.
