How Families May Use It

For feelings check-ins

Use the board during calm check-ins to help your child choose a feeling card and show how they feel.

When spoken words are hard

Offer the need cards as a visual way to show what may help, without requiring your child to explain everything out loud.

Across home, school, therapy, or care settings

Keep the same calm visual support available in calm corners, regulation spaces, routines, or support-worker settings.
