Common questions
Questions about the card decks
What is a card deck for?
Cards do something a page cannot: they can be held, sorted, pointed at and carried into the room where the hard moment happens. A child who cannot find words can still hand you a card.
Do I need to laminate them?
No, but it helps if they will be handled daily. Printing on card stock and laminating turns a paper set into something that survives a school bag.
What ages are the decks for?
It varies by deck and each one says so on its card. Broadly: the feelings and communication sets work from about four upwards, and the dopamine menu is pitched at eleven and over.
