Choice Board
Many children, especially those with autism or hyperlexia, freeze when a question feels too open. This tool lays out a few clear picture choices so a child can pick without feeling overwhelmed, turning a hard moment into a simple decision, and print it for the wall or the fridge.
Offer a few clear choices. A child who feels stuck often just needs fewer options.

What the Choice Board does
For a child who finds open-ended questions stressful, the most calming thing is often simply being shown a few clear options. A choice board turns a vague "what do you want?" into a small set of pictures: this snack or that one, the red shirt or the blue one, play or rest. The child can point, and a hard moment becomes a simple decision.
The Choice Board lets you pick the options, lay them out clearly, and print a clean board for the wall or the fridge. It is a gentle way to lower the overwhelm that many autistic and hyperlexic children feel, while handing them a real sense of control. From kindlexy.com.
