Choice Cards as Modes of Expressive Language

Another terrific way for students with autism and expressive language challenges to communicate needs and wants is through a choice cards. Choice cards offer students the opportunity to make their own decisions, which increases their independence in and out of the classroom. These cards are simple to use and easy to understand. They can be customized to fit any type of decision that a student might need throughout the day. For example, school supplies the student might want to use during independent or group work, what food the student might want to eat during lunch or snack, and what activities the student would like to be a part of.
