Set up a real conversation

Review the available lunch choices before the queue. Keep room for preferences, changes and requests for help.

Words to have nearby

• What is for lunch?
• I brought lunch
• I choose this
• I do not want that
• Keep foods separate

The board also keeps yes, no, help and stop nearby. Use these messages for real choices and responses, without requiring a particular button as the correct answer.

One way to join in

You could model “Not that” when it fits your own meaning, then leave time for the other person’s idea. Respond to their chosen message, gesture or other communication, including a refusal or a different plan.

Try another version

Discuss where to sit or what was enjoyable about lunch.

Make it fit the communicator

Choose a comfortable screen position and button size. Keep their usual vocabulary available alongside the activity. A person can participate by speaking, pointing, looking, signing or using another established access method. The browser board offers direct touch or click; it does not provide a complete individualized access setup.

The original page is labeled Device-test draft. Before adding a native file to an everyday device, back up the existing vocabulary and check the imported pictures, speech and navigation separately. See the import guide.
