Choice Cards are picture cards used to offer a choice between two or more things. The cards should be specific to the individual and choices can range from what to eat for a snack, to which song to sing, to which activity to do. Choice Cards can help a student with expressive language difficulties feel empowered when given choice throughout their day and by giving them the ability to make decisions improves their communication skills and behavior.
An example of Choice Cards would be one pictured below, giving the student to ability to decide which activity to do.

I really like the idea of Choice Cards, because it gives the student the sense of empowerment in making his/her own decisions. I think there are infinite possibilities in using these types of cards to help students. The next post will discuss Past Event Cards, which help students recall past events that have occurred.
