Choice cards promote independence by giving the student a choice from a predetermined set of options. This gives the student more input during work activities by giving them several choices to choose from. Choice cards can also be used across other environments and activities, and aid students with autism in expressive communication.
Giving the student a choice during activities such as lunch or leisure yields a higher chance of the student actually eating what they want or utilizing what they want. it is important that the teacher or whomever presents the choice card can and will follow through with whatever choice the student makes.
We all have the right to make choices but we do not all have the ability. Giving students with Autism is imperative to promote successful outcomes and to convey to them they have a voice. Moving forward I will incorporate choices as much as possible.
