She said: “It is essential that our parks and open spaces are accessible to everyone, including those with speech, language, and communication needs.

“These communication boards will empower young people to express their feelings, effectively communicate their needs, and decide how they want to play, while supporting those with additional needs in interacting socially with their peers.
"I’m incredibly proud of being able to help bring this forward, and I’d encourage families to get out and about and explore one of Lisburn & Castlereagh’s stunning parks and see the boards for themselves.”
