Visual Choice Board Bundle
£17.99
- Verbal communication can be tough for some on the spectrum.
- This bundle provides two different, yet similar, visual communication tools to help the person meaningfully communicate about their wants and needs.
- Communication of needs and wants often leads on to more in depth communication, and is often the first step in developing a more overall approach to communication.
- Communication using images is used widely, and has been shown to improve (rather than reduce the need for) verbal communication at a later point.
- We use the same images as the Boardmaker software so your child is likely already familiar with them (from Mayer Johnson, used with permission)
Optional Extras:
Increase the flexibility of your schedules with one of our expansion packs. Both packs contain a film of self-adhesive, pre scored plastic film. The pre-printed expansion packs contain images on the theme in the title. The blank symbols pack has a sheet of pre-scored plastic film, and images of your choosing can be printed using a regular laser printer or alternatively drawn on by hand with a permanent pen. Once the images are on the plastic film, simply remove from the backing paper and place onto the blank plastic symbol squares included in the pack.
More about this bundle
Combine two of our Choice Boards together in this great value bundle and provide real and meaningful choices.
Choice boards such as these are often the first step used in introducing visual communication, because the person can instantly see the benefits in communication.
Making meaningful choices is often a first step towards developing independence, and is often the focus of Person Centred Plans (PCPs) and Individual Education Plans (IEPs).
Each board is A4, and boards and symbols are all made from highly durable, semi rigid plastic. They are hard-wearing, and easy to clean with simple soap and water.
This bundle contains…
Activity Choice Board
This A4 plastic Activity Choice board comes with a selection of 16 common indoor and outdoor activities.
A few options can be placed on the board from which the person can choose. The number placed on the board is dependent on the abilities of the person it is being used to support. Some people will be able to make a meaningful choice if there is only a couple of options from which they can choose, whereas some people will be able to choose from a much greater number of options.
Being able to make basic choices about their lives is often a source of much frustration for many autistic and non-verbal people. Even those that can communicate verbally to a limited extent will often have trouble making choices. Echolalia is common amongst those on the spectrum, and so when presented with a verbal choice they will often simply repeat the last thing they heard. This can appear to be them making a choice, however if this is not what they actually mean then treating this as an actual choice they are making can lead to increasing frustration and confusion.
Snack Choice Board
This A4 plastic Snack and Drink Choice board comes with a selection of 15 common snacks and drinks.
A few options can be placed on the board from which the person can choose. The number placed on the board is dependent on the abilities of the person it is being used to support. Some people will be able to make a meaningful choice if there is only a couple of options from which they can choose, whereas some people will be able to choose from a much greater number of options.
A variety of healthy options are included to encourage a healthy mindset and positive choice making. The board is suitable for both children and adults alike, as there are also options for hot drinks such as tea and coffee.
Being able to make choices about their lives is an important step towards independence, and often form an important part of Person Centred Planning (PCPs) and Individual Education Plans (IEPs).
