How to use it
- Notice the choices displayed and ask what each one means in this setting.
- You may request a pause, pass, clarification, different distance, change, or support when that option is available.
- If a requested choice is not available, staff should explain the limit and the safest available alternatives.
Reflection prompts
- Which choices are important for you to know about before beginning?
- How would you prefer to signal pause, pass, or support?
Facilitator guidance
Display only choices the setting can reliably honor. During orientation, explain limits, confidentiality, mandatory actions, and alternatives in plain language; establish accessible signals and respond consistently without punishing a person for using them.
Adaptations & accessibility
- Provide translated, symbol-supported, large-print, tactile, and AAC-compatible versions.
- Create discreet pause or support signals.
- Adapt seating, sensory conditions, distance, and communication methods where feasible.
Review considerations
Enhanced licensed trauma-specialist, safeguarding, accessibility, and local-policy review required before use. The poster must match actual practice and must not promise autonomy, confidentiality, or options the setting cannot provide.
This is a layout-complete draft. Complete the stated clinical, accessibility, and local-policy review before client use or publication.
