Using My Choice Board for Promoting Independent Choices

Promoting Independent Choices:

Everyone likes to have some measure of control over their lives and the choices that affect them. Here's some great ways to use our My Choice Board app to afford your loved one/student/client the ability to begin exerting some independence regarding their daily choices:

Instead of simply choosing an outfit for the individual, see if you can engage them in choosing their own shirt, pants, etc. Even a small gesture like this (if the individual is able to make that type of decision, of course!) can boost self esteem and raise confidence levels. The same can be done when it comes to breakfast foods (which are usually individual, as opposed to dinner, which feeds the entire household), summertime activities (maybe the park is more intriguing that day than a walk on the beach), books from the library or home, and anything else in your daily schedule that entails making specific decisions about a thing or activity that the individual can provide input for.

Create a choice board with images of one item type to allow for independent decision making.

Allow for presentation of all available options (for more than six choices, swipe choice field to the left).

When presented with all available choices, prompt the individual to make their own choice from the board.

Double tap the icon in the 'I Want" strip to isolate it for larger view.

Building self-esteem, self assuredness, and environmental confidence are just a few of the many ways that My Choice Board can benefit your clients, students, and loved ones.
