Developed in collaboration with Clinical Psychologists, Educators, parents, and children, our Regulation Cards provide accessible, respectful communication support for people who experience big emotions, sensory overwhelm, or difficulty expressing internal feelings in words. This set offers both quick communication phrases and structured language for identifying feelings and needs. The cards are not about behaviour management, they are about communication, connection, and co-regulation.
What’s Included:
5 x durable A6 PVC cards, including:
1 x Quick communication card
4 x feeling/needs cards with accessible language for describing internal states and needs (supporting a range of intensity and energy states)
Colour-coded, easy-to-differentiate design for quick access in moments of overwhelm
Waterproof, wipe-clean finish
How to Use:
Keep the cards in easily accessible locations such as a lanyard, therapy space, classroom desk, bedroom, or sensory room. Introduce them during calm moments so the person becomes familiar with what each card means before they are needed in times of overwhelm. During dysregulation, gently offer the cards rather than insisting on their use, and model by pointing to relevant words as you speak. These cards are particularly helpful for individuals who struggle to access spoken language when overwhelmed, tired, or sensory overloaded. They support co-regulation by giving clear, low-demand ways to communicate needs and reduce escalation. Over time, they can be used proactively by all to communicate early signs of distress before reaching crisis point.
