# Two optional blank aids · exact alternatives

These original layouts contain no locally authorised Country/Place content. Use only agreed source details/responses through [local preparation](../PREPARE-WITH-PEOPLE.md). One aid or ordinary paper is enough. No source field has to be filled for a child to participate; adults manage source attribution and permission records.

## Place and source mat

[A4 PDF](place-source-mat.pdf) · [editable SVG](place-source-mat.svg).

Exact supplied wording, top to bottom: **A place and its source. One permitted detail is enough. SOURCE SAYS / SHOWS. MY RESPONSE OR QUESTION. Point, direct, sign, speak, draw or pause. Use only the agreed source and response scope. SUBJECTNEST · ORIGINAL BLANK AID · CC BY 4.0 · 2026.**

Two broad empty rectangles, upper then lower. Upper space is for an exact agreed source detail/cue; lower is for the child's own permitted response/question, with the difference retained. No Country name, meaning, boundary or art is already present. The mat is not itself an authorised map or completed learner record.

**No-print / tactile / adult-directed:** use a whole sheet or two broad locations on a familiar tabletop. Adult says upper/first source space, lower/second response space. An exact permitted source cue can be placed/read first; child directs their own response separately. If permitted, a locally prepared broad raised border can mark the two spaces, reviewed for the child/setting. No cutting, texture, touch or placement skill is required; oral/sign/communication-board response can replace the mat entirely. An adult drawing is attributed and read back for agreement.

## Choose one way in

[A4 PDF](one-way-in.pdf) · [editable SVG](one-way-in.svg).

Exact supplied wording, top to bottom: **Choose one way in. One choice, another idea, or a pause. RETURN TO THE SOURCE. POINT OR DIRECT. ASK OR RESPOND. PAUSE OR KEEP PRIVATE. You can change your choice. Adult keeps the source and permission notes. SUBJECTNEST · ORIGINAL BLANK AID · CC BY 4.0 · 2026.**

Four broad stacked rounded rectangles contain the four invitations, in that order. Small plain line cues (a page, arrow, speech bubble and pause bars) are generic navigation aids; they express no community cultural meaning. They are not a four-step required procedure or four questions to finish.

**No-print / tactile / adult-directed:** say the four choices slowly or offer two relevant ones plus the child's own idea. Child points/signs/speaks/directs or chooses a pause. If locally useful, four broad raised positions can represent the same agreed labels, with an exact adult read. Do not infer a choice from a mark unless the child agrees. No response is a valid pause, not evidence of inability.

Both PDFs are searchable but untagged. Exact text above is the reading copy; a useful tactile arrangement needs actual local/individual review. No physical print, screen-reader, AAC or tactile trial with a child is claimed.
