Tuning In to Dining Out

Restaurant Outings:

Use the "Choice Board" feature of our First Then Visual Schedule HD app to create a menu of preferred items within a schedule for your restauraunt outing. You can use either preloaded generic graphics, your own camera pics of menu items, or you can find images using the internet search feature of the app. 

Create a choice board for the restaurant you wish to visit, with all preferred menu items.

Allow your loved one/client to choose between preferred menu items using My Choice Board.

Our Scene Speak app is also a handy tool for using an image of the entire restaurant menu and adding in hotspots that will "talk" when touched. You can add voice or text to the hotspot so that the user can "order" from the virtual menu by simply tapping within the hotspot on the menu image.

Create a VSD with the restaurant menu image. Add multiple menus into a book for easy reference when dining out.

Use hotspots to encourage expressive language while ordering.

This enagages the user in actively participating in the outing in a meaningful way by giving them a choice in what they wish to eat while promoting expressive language.

Happy dining!
