Choice Cards

Choice cards are picture cards that often contain two or more items for students to choose from. The pictures or choices are predetermined by the teacher for the students to choose from. These are used for a wide range of activities and tasks such as a choice of snack, break time activity, or which task to complete first. These allow students with ASD or other disorders to communicate their wants and needs with the teacher. These also reduce negative reactions and behaviors due to the fact that the child feels as though they were allowed to choose to do what they want to. Below are some examples of choice cards.
