About this tool

What it does

Sometimes all you need is a reliable "yes" and "no". The Yes / No board gives you two large, unmissable options so you can answer questions quickly β€” in a doctor’s waiting room, at the checkout counter, or during a conversation that is moving too fast. It removes the need to speak entirely and can be pointed to, tapped, or even indicated with eye gaze.

Step by step

How to use it

  1. 1
    Position the board where you can see it

    Hold it in front of you, place it on a table, or keep it visible on your phone screen.

  2. 2
    Let the other person ask one question at a time

    A good rule to share: ask one yes/no question and wait for the answer before the next.

  3. 3
    Indicate your answer

    Point to "Yes" or "No", tap the button on screen, nod, or look at the option you choose.

  4. 4
    Use it alongside other tools

    After a "yes", you can switch to a communication board or phrase board to add more detail.

Practical tips

  • Make the two options visually distinct β€” big letters, high contrast and clear colours help.
  • Keep a printed card in your wallet for moments when your phone is out of reach.
  • Agree on a signal in advance with family or carers, such as "look up for yes".
Common questions

FAQ

Is a yes/no board really necessary if I have a full board?

Yes β€” it is faster. When a simple answer is all that is needed, finding the exact word on a full board takes effort. A two-option board is instant.

Can it be used by people who cannot point?

Absolutely. The board works with eye gaze, blinking signals, or a partner reading your eyes, which is why it is common in hospital and care settings.

Should I still answer in words if I can?

Use whatever feels right in the moment. The board exists to reduce pressure, not to take speech away from you.
