50 Double-Sided Emotions & Coping Cards | NDIS Regulation Tool

Move beyond just naming feelings—learn how to manage them. The Emotions & Coping Strategies Flashcards are a dynamic piece of low-cost assistive technology designed to support NDIS participants (children) with ADHD, Autism, or emotional dysregulation.

While standard flashcards teach a child to recognise "Anger" or "Sadness," this double-sided deck takes it a step further. One side features an expressive cartoon face to help identify the mood. The flip side provides actionable Coping Strategies specific to that emotion. This turns the deck into a practical problem-solving tool, empowering children to not only say how they feel but also know what to do about it.

How This Device Supports NDIS Participants

Bridge to Regulation (Coping Skills): By linking the feeling directly to a solution (e.g., "When I feel Anxious, I can take 3 deep breaths"), the cards scaffold the self-regulation process. This reduces the cognitive load during stressful moments, helping to prevent meltdowns.

Visual Engagement (Cartoon Design): The exaggerated, expressive cartoon faces are often easier for children to decode than subtle human expressions, particularly for younger children or those with specific learning needs. This captures attention and makes emotional literacy fun.

Portable Therapy Support: Equipped with sorting rings, the cards can be grouped (e.g., "School Feelings" vs. "Home Feelings") and clipped to a bag. This ensures the child has access to their coping strategies on the bus, in the classroom, or at the park.

Promoting Communication: Parents and support workers can use the cards to "check in" with a non-verbal or shut-down child ("Show me which face matches how you feel?"), opening a door to communication that might otherwise remain closed.

Key Features & Benefits

50 Distinct Emotions: Covers a vast spectrum of feelings from "Happy" to complex states like "Frustrated" or "Embarrassed," expanding the child's emotional vocabulary.
Actionable Solutions: The reverse side offers practical techniques to manage the specific emotion displayed, fostering independence and resilience.
Double-Ring Binding: Includes two metal rings for easy organization, allowing you to separate the deck into smaller, manageable sets for different environments.
Durable Cardstock: Printed on high-quality, sturdy card to withstand repeated handling by energetic hands.
Clear & Readable: Uses large, easy-to-read fonts and vivid illustrations, making it accessible for children with varying reading levels.
