Our Feelings Charts are designed to help children understand, recognize, and communicate their emotions using clear visual supports. Many children — especially neurodivergent learners — find spoken language difficult during moments of overwhelm, shutdown, or sensory overload. Visual tools provide a low-pressure way to express how they feel without needing to find the “right” words in the moment.
These charts are particularly helpful for children with Autism, ADHD, Selective Mutism, Anxiety, sensory processing differences, and speech or communication differences, as well as for any child who benefits from visual scaffolding and predictable communication systems. Visual supports are widely used in OT, SLP, counseling, special education, and SEL (Social Emotional Learning) environments because they increase accessibility, reduce frustration, and support co-regulation.
Our Feelings Charts can be used throughout the day for:
✔ emotional check-ins
✔ calm-down strategies
✔ communication during shutdowns
✔ self-regulation practice
✔ social-emotional learning
✔ IEP & 504 accommodations
✔ classroom community building
✔ therapy session routines
✔ homeschool routines
✔ transitions and morning meetings
These tools help adults gain a clearer understanding of what a child is experiencing internally, while also giving children agency over their own communication. When children feel seen and understood, it becomes easier for them to connect, ask for support, and participate in their environment.
Perfect for:
- teachers & SEN specialists
- occupational therapists
- speech-language therapists
- counselors & psychologists
- parents & caregivers
- homeschool families
- neurodivergent children & teens
Designed to be neurodiversity-affirming, our resources avoid compliance-focused language and instead prioritize emotional safety, autonomy, communication, and self-awareness.
Use them in classrooms, calm corners, therapy rooms, clinics, and at home — print, laminate, or add to binders for repeated use.
