What Is a Choice Board?
A choice board is a simple visual support that helps a child see options and choose what they want, need, or want to do next. Choice boards can support communication, reduce frustration, and make daily routines easier to understand.
What can choice boards help with?
Choice boards can help with food choices, drink choices, calming tools, play activities, bedtime routines, morning routines, hygiene, clothing, rewards, sensory supports, and transitions.
Where can I use a choice board?
You can use a choice board at home, school, therapy, restaurants, stores, parks, appointments, bedtime, mealtimes, or in the car. This tool is designed to work on your phone, so you can use it in real life moments instead of waiting to print something.
Why do personalized choice boards work better?
Personalized choice boards can use real photos from your child’s life. A picture of your actual snack, cup, toy, blanket, swing, toothbrush, or calm space may be easier for your child to recognize than generic clipart.
Simple way to use a choice board
- Offer a small number of choices at first.
- Use real photos when possible.
- Say the choices out loud while pointing.
- Give your child time to look, point, tap, or communicate.
- Honor the choice when it is safe and possible.
FAQ
Are choice boards only for autism?
No. Choice boards are often used for autistic children, but they can also help children with ADHD, speech delays, anxiety, sensory needs, developmental delays, and children who benefit from visual supports.
Can I use my own photos?
Yes. This tool is designed for real photos. You can upload pictures from your phone of your child’s actual snacks, toys, routines, calming tools, clothing, or daily activities.
Should I use pictures or words?
Many children benefit from both. Pictures help the child see the option. Words help connect the visual to language and support early reading over time.
How many choices should I show?
Start small. Two to four choices may be enough for younger children or children who feel overwhelmed. You can add more choices as your child becomes more comfortable.
Do I need to print the choice board?
No. You can use it directly on your phone. Printing can help if you want a board posted on the fridge, bathroom wall, therapy space, or routine area.
Is a choice board the same as AAC?
No. A choice board can support communication, but it is not a full AAC system. Children who use AAC should still have access to their communication system. A choice board can be an extra visual support for quick, real life choices.
