01 · Things to look at
Where shall we start?
Generic object illustrations, not shop stock. Offer choices that are available and work for the person using the board.
Show the choices for this visit (optional)
Untick pictures that do not fit today. You can start with two choices. “Something else,” “Just looking” and the communication words stay available.
This changes the screen. The one-page PDF includes all four pictures.
No shopping pictures are showing. You can choose “Something else,” “Just looking,” or use your words below.
02 · My words
I have something to say.
Leave time to respond. A different choice, a pause or finishing the visit is welcome.
A copy to take along
Save it. Print it. Keep it handy.
The PDF puts all ten choices on one US Letter page. Save the image to your phone if that is more useful. The board was made after our Safe Haven visit for a future browse and can be used at other shops, too.
Using the board together
- Offer real choices and time to answer. Pointing, eye gaze, gestures, words, the person’s usual AAC or an established yes/no signal can all carry a preference.
- A picture offers a place to start looking. Check the actual item, price and suitability together before a purchase.
- Keep “no,” “something else,” “help,” “break” and “all done” available. Choosing to look does not create an obligation to buy.
- Use the person’s familiar communication system alongside the board. This is an additional option, not a teaching protocol or a replacement for their established supports.
Created independently by An AUsome Life. The generic object illustrations do not represent current Safe Haven inventory or an official endorsement. Optional speech uses your browser’s available voice service; it plays only when you press “Say it.” No order is placed by selecting a card.
