Activities for Making Informed Choices
Included in this document is a quick and easy preference assessment for educators, support staff, and even parents to use. There is also a survey of preferred items that professionals can hand out to parents to fill out or for parents to give to whoever may be working with their child to ease the process of coming to know the child's preferences.

Skill-Building Requesting in 7 Steps
Teaching a student to appropriately make requests of their preferred items doesn't have to be difficult! This infographic goes through steps to prompt students to make choices within their preferences to promote self-determination.
This activity builds on the previous activity "Building Choice-Making Into Daily Context." Attached is a choice board, almost like a BINGO board, that can be presented to students to help them recognize the choices that are available to them and choose within those options. Students must fill up a row vertically, horizontally, or diagonally to get a BINGO and earn a reward!
