First Responder Patient Communication Boards are Essential for EMTs and Patients!

Here's an effective, no-tech way for people in your community to respond to health questions when they are not able speak in an emergency situation. First responders include police, school nurses, airline staff, nursing homes and other care locations where finding out what's wrong is a priority. Created by Joan Green, SLP at Greenhouse Publications, this communication board is ideal for every emergency vehicle, emergency room, emergency responder, fire or police situations where someone is in need of a communication aid due to trauma or disability. 

This communication board was designed specifically to meet the urgent medical needs of individuals who are injured and cannot speak, or do not speak English. Yes or No responses are all that's needed, even if it's "thumbs up or down" or "eyes open/closed" for yes and no's. The First Responder communication board helps picture communicators quickly explain their medical needs with first responders. Large Yes and No squares allow your patients to respond to simple yes and no questions. Easy to understand images represent common medical challenges first responders encounter that patients can point to.

Each board features 50, hand-drawn, colorful icons depicting a patient's MAIN COMPLAINT, TYPE OF PAIN and MEDICAL HISTORY. Icons are 1.25" x 1.5" in size. The front side, top-half features MAIN COMPLAINT ICONS with a clock for TIME questions and answers. The bottom-half highlights icons for TYPES OF PAIN and a pain scale in the bottom corner. The backside features icons of one's MEDICAL HISTORY including medications, ailments and diseases, a number board and an alphabet for spelling. It always helps to know what medical issues a patient has and what prescriptions he/she takes for that condition - and others. In addition the boards offer the alphabet and numbers to help determine the what, where, when and why of a patients medical issues. Both the alphabet and numbers are listed so that users can spell out answers. Size is 8.5" x 11", double sided. Comes as a set of 2, with 2 dry erase markers for pointing and circling responses.
