Montgomery Parks unveiled a communication board at South Germantown Recreational Park on Wednesday, October 6, 2021. Montgomery Parks Director Mike Riley and Montgomery Planning Board Chair Casey Anderson were joined by Councilmembers Andrew Friedson and Evan Glass for the ceremonial unveiling.
The hands-on, interactive device creates a more inclusive and equitable play environment for park visitors who have autism, who are recovering from a stroke or brain injury, who are non-verbal, and who have learning disabilities and/or developmental disabilities. The boards can also facilitate communication between individuals who speak different languages.
