Description
Choice Boards is a simple but useful communication app. It is designed for children and adults with autism (ASD) or other conditions that make communication difficult. Can be used as a form of Augmentative and Alternate Communication (AAC).
Choice Boards can be used for communication:
- About choices in daily life, such as "What would you like to eat for lunch?", "Where would you like to go for a walk?", "What do you want to watch on TV?", etc.
- Between patients with communication disorders and health care providers i.e. to help localize the pain source or communicate other symptoms.
- About any topics using the picture board as a conversation blueprint containing pictures of related things to talk about, like: "What happened during the day", "Things we can do in Winter", "What gifts did you get for Christmas?".
- About shopping lists, things to do or daily schedules.
- About rewards during an ABA or other learning session, replacing a velcro choice board
- As a general AAC communication help
Choice Boards allows a parent or teacher to create and manage multiple choice boards. Each choice board consists of cards with pictures and text.
Once a choice board is prepared, we can present it to the child for choosing one of the cards. The choice can be made by tapping a card. It gets enlarged to clearly indicate what was chosen. Additionally the card's text is read aloud using the iPad's voice synthesizer.
Please note that the app does not contain any ready to use picture library. You can do web search for pictures with Safari, save them to the Photo Library and later use in Choice Boards. Or you can use pictures taken with the iPad's camera and saved in the Photo Library.
Many AAC symbols are available at http://sensymbols.org/ or http://sclera.be

Choice Boards evolves slowly into a general AAC communication aid, not limited to the topic of choices only.
Detailed changes:
- Choice boards selected from the board list are ready to use (no need to quit editing mode anymore). The child can make a two level choice: first select the board and then the item on the board.
- Boards can be configured in such a way, that chosen items do not disappear and are available to be selected again. This is the default behavior for newly created boards.
- The way of toggling editing mode changed from double tapping to using the 'Edit' button in the toolbar.
- The last used board is not opened automatically on start up anymore.
- The app is now available in polish.
- Changed app icon title from Choices to Choice Boards.
- Other small UX improvements.
- Updated AppStore description (new use cases, future enhancements, new screenshots).

Stheavy Bailey,
Great app but I wish…
I wish we could edit the categories tabs.
Shootthemoon29,
Was great, but doesn't work now!
Was really awesome but the audio won't work anymore! I've tried updating my iPad, and I've checked my other apps. Everything works fine everywhere else. It's something with this app specifically. Any fixes for this? We love using it with our child!
KidzCOTA,
Great app!
This is an absolutely fabulous app! It is fairly easy to use and create boards.
