Reduce the impact of cognitive dysregulation and build emotional resilience with The CBT Deck. Classified as low cost assistive technology, this therapeutic resource is a critical tool for NDIS participants living with psychosocial disabilities, anxiety disorders, ADHD, or Autism Spectrum Disorder. It serves as a portable cognitive scaffold, providing structured, actionable strategies to manage complex emotional states.
Navigating daily life with a heightened nervous system can lead to significant barriers in social participation and independent living. This deck provides 101 evidence-based practices grounded in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to help participants identify and redirect unhelpful thought patterns. By translating clinical concepts into accessible, daily exercises, it empowers the user to self-regulate in real-time. Whether used at home or in a community setting, these cards act as a "circuit breaker" for negative thought loops, helping to lower arousal levels and promote intentional, value-aligned actions.
How This Device Supports NDIS Participants
-
Cognitive Restructuring: Assists participants in identifying and challenging "self-limiting beliefs" and negative thought spirals, which is essential for those with depression or anxiety related to their disability.
-
Emotional Self-Regulation: Provides immediate, tactile prompts to soothe the mind during periods of sensory or emotional overwhelm, helping to prevent behavioral escalation.
-
Executive Function Support: The "Action" category of cards helps participants move from thought to execution, supporting goals related to task initiation and intentional decision-making.
-
Mindfulness & Grounding: Teaches techniques to remain engaged in the present moment, reducing the "mental noise" that can interfere with daily tasks and community engagement.
