Learning Task Choice Board

Learning Task Choice Board

Use this resource to help a PDA child access the curriculum by providing a choice of tasks to achieve the learning objective. Each task should ideally be equal in helping to consolidate and develop the lesson learning. Once complete there is space for a choice of two reward activities. This should be completed with the child. Introduce by encouraging the child to record the activities they want to do. Only when comfortably using this way should you begin to encourage other adult directed activities to be included starting with just one. Build up very slowly.
