Choiceworks®️ App
Choiceworks®️ Calendar
The Choiceworks Calendar is a full-featured, kid friendly calendar app designed to help children learn concepts of time and help caregivers to keep them organized. Currently iOS only.
Made at a kitchen table, for families like ours.
Bee Visual was founded by Michele Walker, who built Choiceworks for her own children and for the families, schools, and clinical teams she worked with. She holds a master's in Applied Educational Psychology and a U.S. patent for the method behind Choiceworks. She built it out of necessity, and she still answers the support emails herself.
The voice that guides children through the app is her son Luke's, recorded in a bedroom closet when he was seven years old. Her son Matt leads the Android work and tests every release. Bee Visual stays woman-owned and self-funded, with no investors, and it has never sold or shared user data.
Today Choiceworks is used around the world, by families and schools, in hospitals, and in university programs that train special educators.

ChoiceWorks grew out of the same research and clinical practice that shapes the field. Here is what some of its most respected voices have said.
"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."
Barry M. Prizant, Ph.D., CCC-SLP — Author of Uniquely Human and co-developer of 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."
Emily Rubin, MS, CCC-SLP — Director, Communication Crossroads
"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."
Linda Hodgdon, M.Ed., CCC-SLP — Author of Visual Strategies for Improving Communication
"The ChoiceWorks System is very creative and thoughtfully developed and should be most helpful for teachers, parents and children."
Gary Mesibov, Ph.D. — Professor Emeritus, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill; Director of the TEACCH Autism Program, 1992-2012
