Power cards

Power Cards are a tool for helping a child to change their thinking around a situation or to work on an unwanted, inappropriate behavior by capitalizing on an interest, person or character that has special meaning for the child.

A brief text or story that is related to the special interest, person or character is combined with an illustration and made into a small, portable card, such as a bookmark or business card,  that the child can carry with him and refer to whenever necessary.

Visuals help support communication, particularly for learners who find receptive and expressive language difficult to process.

Here are some examples
