For clinician-facilitated use

This is a professional resource, not a child-facing online service. A licensed clinician or other qualified adult must determine suitability, explain and adapt the activity, and supervise its use. Do not direct a child to access this webpage independently or enter client information.

The full-resolution WebP includes print-safe margins and should be downloaded by an adult professional. Read the guidance below before using the page.

How to use it

  1. Pause here if you choose.
  2. Pick an available option: rest, move, notice, create, ask, or another safe choice.
  3. Return when you are ready or ask an adult for support.

Reflection prompts

  • Which choices feel useful or not useful here?
  • Is anything missing from the space?
  • How can an adult support your choice?

Facilitator guidance

Display only choices the setting can actually provide. The space must remain voluntary, supervised as appropriate, accessible, and never used for punishment, seclusion, or exclusion.

Adaptations & accessibility

  • Use photographs of the actual space and available items.
  • Add AAC symbols and a portable choice strip.
  • Provide movement and non-movement choices with sensory alternatives.

Professional-use review

Standard licensed-clinician, safeguarding, and setting-policy review required before use.

This clinician-created resource is published for professional evaluation. Before client use, the treating clinician or other qualified adult must determine whether it is appropriate and complete every specialist, accessibility, safeguarding, and local-policy review named above. Publication does not represent individualized clinical approval.
