How to create individual
Self-Controls in PowerPoint
You can type text onto custom Self-Controls in
PowerPoint like this.
x
1. Double click on each of the X’s.
These are text boxes.
2. In the “do this” section, write in the things
x x
you want the child to do more. In the “stop
this” section, write in the things you want
the child to avoid doing.
3. Print it and cut it out. It’s nice if the child x x
colors it. Use light colors so one can still
read the words!
4. Duplicate the PowerPoint slides to create
as many as you need. x x
*A separate PDF download provides an intro for
children and additional information for adults.
** There is a completely separate Self-Control for
conversation pragmatics – find it here:
