Making Choices

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Here is an excellent and well-developed lesson intended to promote choice-making skills for learners with visual impairment and intellectual disabilities. It fosters choice-making skills through a soft version of discrete trial training, which shifts into less structured practice as the child becomes more confident in making personal choices. The training is intended to teach learners to initiate activities during leisure time, as well as be able to ask for items using pictorial representations.
