Different ways to present a choice
There are several ways to present choice-making options:
- verbal choices (no visual aids)
Simply say the options out loud: “Would you like juice or milk?”
- auditory cues
Play a sound that represents each option as you say it:
“Would you like the tambourine or the shakers?”
è Play each instrument after saying its name.
- real objects
Show the options to the person who is choosing by holding them out in front of them:
“Would you like juice or milk?”
- photographs
Show photographs that depict the items that are available:
- line-drawn (i.e. Mayer-Johnson/Boardmaker) symbols
Show line-drawings that depict items that are available:
- tangible symbols
