This Chinese New Year core board is an AAC (Augmentative and Alternative Communication) resource designed to support functional communication during topic-based learning. It combines core vocabulary (such as “want”, “go”, “like”, and “help”) with topic-specific fringe vocabulary related to Chinese New Year, enabling learners to communicate meaningfully in context. Structured using the Modified Fitzgerald Key colour-coding system, the board visually organises language into categories (e.g. people, actions, objects, descriptors), supporting language development and sentence building. It enables users to form phrases, make requests, express feelings, and engage in social interaction during activities linked to the celebration. This resource is particularly beneficial for individuals with complex communication needs, including AAC users, and supports participation, independence, and inclusion. It can be used in classrooms, interventions, or group activities to scaffold communication, encourage interaction, and build confidence in expressive language.
