Description

The Choiceworks Calendar is a powerful picture-based learning tool that helps children learn what is happening day-to-day, week-to-week, and month-to-month throughout each year. Choiceworks Calendar teaches the abstract concept of time in a structured visual format which helps children organize their lives as well as understand sequence and time. Choiceworks Calendar is the first app of its kind to provide a full-featured calendar designed with both the child and caregiver in mind.

Methodology
Visual supports are highly effective, proven tools for improving communication between children and caregivers.  Calendars are challenging for children to grasp initially due to the abstract concept of time, months, weeks and days.  They are also time consuming for caregivers to setup and maintain.  Choiceworks Calendar addresses all of these challenges.  For caregivers, it provides a streamlined interface for creating, customizing, sharing and maintaining a calendar of upcoming events.  For the child, it provides visual, audio and video supports that make using the calendar an enjoyable learning experience.
Children gain independence and personal responsibility by seeing helpful information such as which days are school days and which days are not.  They also benefit by being informed of upcoming events such as a doctor’s appointment or celebrating a birthday. This clear, simple support provided ahead of time can help a child predict what is going to happen, thereby reducing anxiety.  It helps children understand when there is a change in the routine so they can learn to adapt, become more flexible and better behaved. The information is always visible on the calendar and the child can refer to it as often as needed. 
Helpful Tips
Simple:  When first implementing Choiceworks Calendar, the calendar should be kept simple and be geared toward the child. By reviewing the calendar each day, the child will learn the days of the week, rote counting, number identification and components of the daily, weekly, and monthly schedule.
Visuals:  Put images or videos on the calendar that describe the most important activities of the day. Again, keep it simple. Only include what is important for the child on the calendar.  Start small and gradually increase the amount of information presented as the child begins to understand the passage of time.
Advance: As success with Choiceworks Calendar increases, visually plan out big projects and indicate deadlines for science projects, writing assignments, etc.  Chunk larger projects into smaller, manageable steps that the child can complete each day.  This will focus attention to the current task and lessen anxiety and distraction to other portions of project.

Choiceworks Calendar Reviews

Calendario España de lunes a domingo

SaraI. on

Spain

Gracias por la App. Me va a ser útil para mi hijo con autismo, pero me gustaría que pudiera seleccionarse un calendario que empezase en lunes, para poder organizarnos como lo hacemos en España.

Has potential

Ebeneezer Merryweather on

United States

We would like to use this app for our son on his talker, but this app doesn’t support split screen on the iPad. I tried to contact the developer and got no response.

Thank you

Cjlistmaker on

I hate paying for apps especially when they usually aren’t great. but every once in a while, you find that app that it is exactly what you needed! I love the simple graphics and the option to print a full size day or week or month. And the option to share the calendar, the option to customize images and captions. I think the thing I like the most is that it’s not complicated! everything you need and nothing you don’t. nobody coerced me to write this review, I just have a child with autism and I am happy to have this tool.

Needs more recurring options than weekly

Ark0578 on

United States

I had contacted support a while ago about the inability to select a biweekly option when setting up a recurring appointment. I asked them to recommend that it be added in a future revision. I see it still hasn’t been added. The calendar isn’t useful to me if I have to either create a new appointment every other week or set up a recurring appointment and then have to remove every other one. I saw another reviewer asking for an annual recurring option and I like that idea, too. I also noticed there’s not an image for therapy/psychologist/counselor. I think there should be.

Buggy re: recurring events

wittywats on

United States

I love the Choiceworks app - both professinally as an SLP and personally as a parent - and was hoping to love CW Calendar too. But I’m very frustrated to find that every time I turn on the “recurring event” button when adding an event, the app crashes on me. I am using an iPhone 11 running iOS 15.3.1

Almost 5 stars

Lili529 on

If only there was an option to create an account to share with the other parent or even with the child’s smart device. I have found myself sharing the pic and creating the same schedule on different devices.

Twin boys with medium to high functioning autism

Beverly F in GA on

I cannot state enough how helpful this app has been. It is fantastic for every day use. When you click on a calendar item, it says the event out loud. You can make the schedule as detailed or as limited as you like. You can create multiple calendars for daily activities or you can make an overview calendar for just the big holidays. It has a Countdown feature which my son absolutely loves to use to see when things are coming up (like Christmas and birthdays). My husband and I divorced last year and at the end of each day I put an entry for where they will be spending the night. During the school year it is pretty straightforward, but when you add in summer vacation and dad's extra long visitation during summer, things get a little complicated. When you click on the day that you are on, you can slide items from the left to the right and it will say "all done" and put a checkmark over that item. My boys are like me in that they are very visual. This calendar enables them to see you things that are coming up in the future such as therapy, doctors appointments, vacations, anything important. It is fairly easy to import and export the calendars so I have the master calendar on my iPad and I will export it to both of my boys using dropbox (usually) so that we all have the same calendar and I can update easily when they are using their iPads. In addition, you can send copies of the calendar as a PDF in case caretakers don't have the app. No matter how severely disabled your child is, I believe this calendar can make a huge difference in their ability to understand their schedule. I don't normally leave reviews, but this has been a lifesaver since my divorce.

App will not install, it keeps "Waiting"

Digital&Graphix on

United States

I purchased this app as a bundle and I have not been able to download it in order to use it for home health OT. The app will not install, and after powering the iPad down, the app would still state, "waiting." I also deleted a lot of unused apps to make space, however it still states, "waiting." Make this app work, or give me my full refund. Thank you.

Great app needs some more features

AutismDogGirl on

United States

This is a great app!! Just what I have been wanting and needing, suggested edits for updates 1 a larger image library as well as adult images like work and doctors ect 2.the ability to repeat an event such as birthdays on an annual basis 3. The ability to edit title above the images anytime you edit events 4. Freezing glitches

Love this but need option to add text

scignatta on

United States

I use this calendar everyday with my 14 year old son with autism but need an option to add a text box as well as add text to pictures you import and edit text on library pictures. The text box is especially important for times when a picture isn't necessary. Then it would be 5 stars for me!
