Feelings Chart for Kids, Check-In Board, 24 Picture Cards, Editable Blanks, Autism ADHD Printable

Seller's description

Picture cards for the moments when the words won't come. My Feelings is a printable feelings check-in: your child points to how they feel, picks what they need, and chooses something that helps. Made by a dad for his own autistic, ADHD son, who can't always tell us what's wrong when a big feeling arrives, but can point to a card.

WHAT YOU GET (instant download, 7 pages)
- 24 picture cards (52 mm): 8 feelings (happy, sad, angry, worried, scared, tired, excited, calm), 8 "I need" cards (help, break, quiet, wait, stop, more, yes, no) and 8 calm choices (hug, toys, headphones, quiet time, drink, go outside, trampoline, music)
- 6 blank cards you can type on before printing
- A How do I feel? board with an "I feel" slot, and a My calm choices board with an "I can" slot
- 2 "I feel / I need" strips: one for home, one for the bag or school
- A How big is the feeling? scale and a When I feel ... I can ... plan board
- A one-page set-up guide with tips
- The Card Maker: a small web page (zip) that prints matching 52 mm cards with your own words

HOW IT WORKS
- Check in: "How do you feel?" Your child points to a card or moves it to the "I feel" slot. Say it back: "You feel worried."
- Ask what they need: help, a break, quiet, wait, stop, more, yes or no.
- Choose a calm choice together and do it. On a calm day, make a When I feel ... I can ... plan so it's ready for next time.

TWO EDITIONS
- UK A4 and US Letter PDFs, both in your download. Print at 100% on thin card (cardstock), laminate, cut along the thick blue borders and add hook-and-loop dots.
- The blank cards are fillable: open the PDF in Adobe Reader (free) or Preview, type, then print.

WORKS WITH THE REST OF THE SHOP
The cards are the same size and style as the Morning Routine kit and the Daily Routine bundle, so they fit any of our boards.
