Emotion Chart for Kids - Nonverbal Communication Cards for Autism Education

This A4 plastic board serves as an excellent resource for introducing the concept of emotions and assisting users in expressing their feelings. Many individuals, including non-verbal, pre-verbal, and even verbal people with limited communication skills, often experience frustration stemming from a lack of understanding. Therefore, a tool that facilitates non-threatening, non-verbal expression can significantly help reduce stress and prevent meltdowns.

Users can employ this board to communicate their emotional states to those around them, or it can be utilized by parents, teachers, or caregivers as a teaching aid for labeling emotions at specific times. Designed with eight selectable emotions, the board features a section at the bottom for completing the sentence, "I feel…".

Originally crafted for children with autism, this board has proved effective across a diverse age range and other diagnoses, such as learning disabilities, ADHD, Pathological Demand Avoidance (PDA), and even dementia. It has also demonstrated significant success in preschool and early childhood settings. The plastic construction ensures that both the board and the symbols retain flexibility while being robust and exceptionally durable.

This product belongs to the Autism Supplies and Developments range of visual communication aids, initially developed to support our own autistic son. With over 30 years of combined professional and personal experience with individuals on the spectrum, you can trust that these tools are thoughtfully designed and truly beneficial.
