People with motor problems will find that the button sizes make it easier, providing direct access via fingers or fist, etc. Make a Choice is great for people working with various forms of Dyspraxia, (also known as Motor Learning Difficulties, Perceptuo-Motor Dysfunction, and Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD)). By providing a small number of choices, the communicator is better able to focus, and express themselves clearly.

In fact, the versatility of Make a Choice allows you to use it in all sorts of situations. Make a Choice provides the ability to configure Choice Boards of two, or four buttons on the screen with text, an image, or both.

Every button you create is there for you to pick and re-use, any number of times. For communication ovation partners, this is a great tool to help your cared one express her or his self through choosing one action, over another. Make a Choice allows you to share your Choice Board configurations with others via iCloud Drive, DropBox, and any other iOS compatible file sharing service. This allows you to backup your data, share it amongst your devices, and with clients and friends. Make a Choice allows you to lock down the Choice Board configuration, preventing unwanted changes to the Choice Boards you’ve created.
