"While
designed with families in mind, the Choiceworks™
Visual Support System would also be a wonderful addition to a child's
school program, since it serves to remind parents and educators alike
that we shouldn't just react to difficult situations- we should respect,
teach, and support the child through them. The Choiceworks Visual Support
System provides an ideal way to do just that!" - read

"So
many children are challenged on a daily basis in participating in and
understanding social situations, and in regulating and expressing their
emotions. The Choiceworks™ Visual
Support System is a well designed, high quality system for supporting
children, their parents and professionals in daily routines and activities.
It is an essential "transactional support" that is
consistent with practices we have developed in the SCERTS
Model."

"I am so proud of the visual supports that Bee Visual™
has created, as the development of emotional regulation is so critical
to a child's social and communicative competence. I believe Choiceworks™
is a wonderful asset and will help many children."

"The Choiceworks™ Visual Support System provides exactly
the kind of communication support that enables children to follow routines,
make choices and demonstrate appropriate behavior. This system is
a fabulous tool to help children participate more effectively with greater
independence."

"The Choiceworks™ System is very creative and thoughtfully
developed and should be most helpful for teachers, parents and children."

"The importance of having visual supports to assist children with
their interpretation of life's events markedly enhances their emotional
self regulatory behavior. The scheduling of events and implementing
wait times provides much needed structure and provides order to a potentially
confusing and complex environment. The Choiceworks™ Visual
Support System enhances a child's ability to learn by diminishing anxiety
and mood shifts and increases reality based reciprocal exchanges with
parents, teachers and friends. Choiceworks™
is a significant contribution to the well-being of our children."
