Where Therapists Begin

Many therapists who come here are looking for tools that make abstract skills more concrete. You might be working on emotional awareness, coping strategies, transitions, or flexible thinking, and you need visuals that keep clients engaged without adding another thing to prep.

These systems were created for exactly that. They give clients something they can see and touch, reduce verbal overload, and help carry your work from sessions into daily life.

  • Common clinical needs

    Clients who struggle to name feelings, tolerate transitions, or remember strategies between sessions.

  • Simple visual supports

    Boards and cards that make emotions, plans, and rewards visible so skills can be practiced and repeated with less stress.

Emotion Regulation Tools

Start here if you are working on emotional awareness, body cues, and coping strategies. These tools help clients notice, name, and respond to feelings in a concrete way.

First Then Board

A simple way to support transitions, task initiation, and cognitive flexibility. Show clients what is happening now and what comes next so sessions feel predictable and safe.

Reward Path Board

Use this board to support behavior goals, skill practice, or therapy homework. Clients can see their progress build over time and stay motivated in a visual way.

Using SEED and SIMPLE in Sessions

SEED focuses on how clients grow over time. SIMPLE helps you take each tool and fold it into sessions and home plans without creating more prep work. Together they support clear expectations and repeatable practice that fits real life.

These tools support autistic clients, clients with ADHD, anxiety, and other needs. Any client who benefits from visual structure and concrete support can use them.
