MILLIS - The Oak Grove Farm Playground is the recipient of a Playground Communication Board provided by The Flutie Foundation. 

“Play is a critical part of children’s development. Individuals with autism and other developmental delays commonly experience social deficits, which inhibit their ability to communicate effectively with others. Visual aids support a wide range of learners, including verbal, neuro-typical peers and promote inclusion of people with differing abilities. These communication boards will support individuals in initiating conversations with peers, navigating social situations, and expressing themselves,” according to www.millisma.gov  

The Flutie Foundation has a goal to build a similar playground in every town in Massachusetts by the end of 2023. Applications can be found at www.flutiefoundation.org/playground-communication-boards and are reviewed on the first of every month.
