Choice Board for Autism
Real decisions, made visible. Offer two to six options as pictures and let the answer be a point or a tap.
Control reduces conflict
Most behaviour described as 'non-compliance' is really an absence of control. A choice board restores it safely: the adult decides the options, the child decides the outcome. Two pictures is enough to start — snack A or snack B, park or garden — and the field grows as choosing becomes reliable. AutismDock builds boards from pictograms or your own photos, speaks the option aloud when selected, and logs choices over time so you can see genuine preferences instead of guessing at them.

Frequently asked questions
What is a choice board?+
A visual array of options a person selects from, giving control over outcomes without needing speech.
How many options should I offer?+
Begin with two clearly different options and expand only once selection is consistent and intentional.
What if they always pick the same thing?+
That is a valid preference. Rotate the second option to check the choice is genuine rather than positional.
Can I use my own photos?+
Yes — real photos of the actual items work far better than generic icons for young children.
Is it printable?+
Yes, every board exports as a print-ready PDF.
