Real-Life Photo Emotions Cards (104pk) | NDIS Speech & ABA Aid

Bridge the gap between therapy and the real world with these Real-Life Emotions Flash Cards. This extensive set of 104 cards (2 decks of 52) is a specialized piece of low-cost assistive technology designed for NDIS participants engaging in Speech Therapy, ABA (Applied Behaviour Analysis), or social skills training.

Many educational tools use cartoons to depict feelings. However, for individuals with Autism (ASD) or those recovering from a stroke (Aphasia), generalizing a cartoon face to a real human face can be difficult. These cards feature high-quality, real-life photographs of diverse people, helping users learn to read genuine facial micro-expressions and social cues.

How This Resource Supports NDIS Participants

Generalization of Skills (ABA/ASD): The use of realistic photography helps participants transfer the skills learned in a therapy setting to real-world interactions, improving their ability to read the room and respond appropriately to peers.

Memory & Matching (Cognitive Support): Because the set includes two of each card (2 x 52), it can be used for memory matching games. This gamifies the learning process, supporting goals related to working memory, concentration, and turn-taking.

Language Development (Speech/ESL): Each card features the emotion word in bold, clear font. This supports literacy development and vocabulary expansion for children with speech delays or adults relearning language after a brain injury.

Emotional Literacy: By providing a wide vocabulary of feelings (beyond just happy/sad), it helps participants identify nuances in emotion, which is the foundation for self-regulation and empathy.

Key Features & Benefits

Real-Life Photography: Depicts genuine human expressions rather than abstract drawings, essential for teaching social cue recognition to neurodivergent learners.
Double Deck (104 Cards): Includes pairs of every image, enabling a variety of therapeutic games (Snap, Memory, Go Fish) to keep engagement high.
Diverse Representation: Features people of various ages and backgrounds, making the deck relatable for toddlers, teens, and adults alike.
Clear Typography: Bold, distraction-free text helps link the visual expression to the written word, aiding reading and expressive language goals.
Durable Construction: Made from sturdy cardboard to withstand frequent handling in classroom or therapy environments.
