My Brain, My Body, My World- Therapy card deck

Behaviour, Sensory Experiences & The World Around Me

A therapeutic card deck designed to help SEND and neurodivergent children explore how they experience the world around them.

Many neurodivergent children experience life differently, from sensory sensitivities and emotional overwhelm to social confusion, shutdown, impulsivity and difficulty with change or transitions. Often these experiences are misunderstood as “behaviour” rather than communication.

My Brain, My Body, My World helps children express and make sense of experiences related to:

✨ sensory differences

✨ behaviour and emotional regulation

✨ routines, transitions and change

✨ social experiences and friendships

✨ focus, attention and impulsivity

✨ overwhelm, shutdown and masking

✨ how their brain and body respond to the world around them

Using simple child-friendly language and meaningful visual imagery, these cards help create understanding, reflection and connection.

The deck supports children to feel:

💛 understood rather than judged

💛 supported rather than corrected

💛 safe to share their experiences

Suitable for use by:

• parents and carers

• therapists and counsellors

• schools and SEND teams

• pastoral and support staff

• professionals working with children and young people

Especially supportive for autistic children, ADHD children, other neurodivergent and SEND  young people who may struggle to explain their lived experiences directly.

Created by a neurodivergent child psychotherapist to help children communicate experiences that are often difficult to put into words.
