How to use it
Add only choices you can really offer right now.
Start with two, and add more as your child gets used to choosing.
Print it, hold it up, and name each picture.
When your child points, say the word and follow through.
Make it last: print on cardstock, laminate it or slip it into a sheet protector, and use a dry-erase marker or Velcro dots so you can use it again.
Questions parents ask
How many choices should I offer?
Two is a good start. More options can feel like a lot, especially when a child is tired or upset.
Does this replace speech or communication support?
No. It’s a simple everyday support. If you have questions about how your child communicates, a speech-language pathologist can help.
Is my child’s name saved anywhere?
No. A name you type stays in your browser so it can print on the sheet. It is never sent to us.
Is it really free?
Yes. One email unlocks this and every other tool in the library, and you can print as many as you like. Your email also brings one short story each Tuesday, and you can leave anytime.
Read it with a story
This is a simple visual support for everyday routines, not a therapy or a treatment. If your child works with a teacher or therapist, they can tell you how it fits with what they already do. Picture symbols: Mulberry Symbols, CC BY-SA 4.0.
