Free Printable Choice Board
A choice board lets a learner pick between a few options instead of being told, which builds communication and cuts down on frustration. This free PDF has four large boxes, plus a second page of blank picture cards to cut out and stick on with Velcro.
Page 1 is the board. Page 2 is a sheet of blank picture cards to cut out.

- Put Velcro on the back of each card and in each box on the board.
- Offer the board, let the learner point to or hand you the choice they want, and then follow through right away.
Ideas for using it
- Snack: crackers, apple, yogurt, raisins.
