Emotions Flashcards with Retractable Clip | NDIS Speech Visual Aid

Empower expression anywhere, anytime with the My Feelings Emotions Flash Cards. This set of 40 visual aid cards is a vital piece of low-cost assistive technology designed to support children and adults with Autism (ASD), speech delays, or non-verbal communication needs.

Expressing emotions can be incredibly frustrating for individuals who struggle with verbal speech or alexithymia (difficulty identifying feelings). This portable deck serves as an Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) tool. It allows the user to simply point to or show a card (e.g., "Happy," "Sad," "Angry") to communicate their internal state, reducing the behavioural outbursts that often stem from being misunderstood.

How This Device Supports NDIS Participants

Portable "On-the-Go" Communication: Unlike bulky communication books, this set features a retractable reel and metal ring. It can be clipped onto a belt loop, school bag, or lanyard, ensuring the participant has their "voice" with them on the playground, at the shops, or in therapy without fear of losing cards.

Emotional Regulation: By providing a concrete visual representation of feelings, the cards help users identify and label their emotions in the moment. This is the first step toward self-regulation and de-escalation of distress.

Building Social Skills: The vivid illustrations help participants learn to recognize facial expressions and social cues, supporting goals related to social interaction and empathy.

Durable & Sensory Friendly: Made from high-quality coated paper, the cards are smooth to touch and easy to wipe clean, designed to withstand frequent handling by users with sensory seeking behaviours.

Key Features & Benefits

40 Essential Emotions: Covers a wide range of feelings, providing a comprehensive vocabulary for daily interactions.
Retractable Safety Clip: The spring-loaded reel allows the user to pull the card up to show someone and then have it snap back to their hip/bag, preventing loss.
Compact Size (8.9 x 5.8 cm): Perfectly sized for small hands to grip and flip through, yet large enough to be easily readable.
Organised Ring Binder: Keeps the deck together, allowing carers or therapists to add or remove specific cards based on the user's current learning level.
Visual & Text: Features both the word and a clear illustration, supporting literacy development alongside visual communication.
