CBT Therapy Cards (58 Pcs) | NDIS Anxiety & Emotional Regulation Aid

Empower children and teenagers to navigate their emotions with the CBT Deck for Kids and Teens. This comprehensive set of 58 therapeutic practice cards is a vital piece of low cost assistive technology designed to build emotional resilience. It translates the evidence-based principles of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) into accessible, bite-sized activities that help manage stress, quiet anxiety, and foster independent emotional regulation.

How This Tool Supports NDIS Participants

For NDIS participants living with Autism (ASD), ADHD, Psychosocial Disabilities, or Anxiety Disorders, emotional dysregulation can be a significant barrier to daily living and social participation. This deck serves as a practical capacity-building tool by:

• Supporting Emotional Regulation: Many neurodivergent young people struggle to identify and manage "big feelings." These cards provide concrete, visual prompts that act as a "circuit breaker" during moments of stress, helping to de-escalate meltdowns and restore calm without relying solely on adult intervention.

• Building Coping Capacity (Capacity Building): The deck shifts the focus from relying on support workers to building internal skills. By practicing these techniques, participants learn to independently identify negative thought patterns and replace them with constructive actions, a core goal of the "Improved Daily Living" support category.

• Aiding Executive Function & Impulse Control: For youth with ADHD, the "Choose Actions" category helps pause the impulse-action cycle. It provides a structured moment to reflect and choose a behavior that leads to a positive outcome, rather than reacting impulsively.

• Reducing Anxiety & Negative Spirals: The practices offer tangible strategies to interrupt the "worry loops" common in anxiety disorders, providing grounding techniques that bring the user back to the present moment.

Key Features & Benefits

• 58 Evidence-Based Practices: A comprehensive toolkit covering a wide range of needs, from mindfulness and relaxation to cognitive restructuring (changing how we think).

• Engaging Visual Design: Each card is beautifully illustrated, making the concepts approachable and non-threatening. This visual aspect is particularly helpful for visual learners and those who find text-heavy therapy materials overwhelming.

• Four Key Skill Areas: The deck is structured to address specific challenges:

  • Build Coping Skills: Strategies that last a lifetime.

  • Quiet Anxiety: Tools to manage worry and stress.

  • Navigate Emotions: techniques for processing difficult feelings.

  • Conscious Action: Prompts for making positive behavioral choices.

• Portable Support: The compact size means this "therapist in a pocket" can travel to school, respite, or community outings, ensuring support is available whenever a stressful moment occurs.
