Description
Purpose: A low-tech AAC tool to help students identify, understand and articulate when something is wrong.This spiral bound book helps students identify emotions, explain why, and begin to determine what could help resolve the problem and/or make him/her feel better. Each of these components are presented on a single page, and visual choices are provided. The choices are removable to complete problem-solving statements, facilitating engagement and ownership of the process. The pages stack revealing each statement built by the student allowing for review, discussion and reflection. Please note that the last “I feel..” choice is “pain.” The “Tell Me What Hurts” board on the back is for use when “pain” is selected.
To further adapt this resource for students who benefit from few choices, consider the following:
1. Add an additional spiral-bound page on the right-edge of the "_ can make it better" page. This page can be folded in so it is between each stacked page to cover the pages that follow.
2. Cover unlikely choices with blank cards. These can be stored on the inside of the additional spiral-bound page described above.
3. Place a strip of Velcro near the bottom edge of the additional spiral-bound page described above. Insert this page behind the page being targeted. Place the most likely choices on the Velcro strip. Hide the bank of choices by closing all pages.

This has been a great addition to the break area in my classroom. Students are beginning verbal, and when frustrated or upset, they are often unable to communicate what is wrong. This is a great too to help diagnose what is bothering them and help work towards a solution.

I haven't used this yet in a practical setting, but I loved the concept of it. Easy to set up.
My student has autism and his teacher asked for something that could help him communicate his feelings, what happened, and how she could help him. I gave her a generic feelings board and a board for "it hurts" type of communication but that wasn't enough. She said she needed to know what happened when he is upset or sad or frustrated and what things might help him feel better. This resource is PERFECT for this. I made one book for the classroom and another to send home because his mother reported he is also unable to talk about feelings and events at home. I anticipate using this across grade levels, especially with PreK-3 students with language disorders or autism.
This was a great resource and the students were engaged with it.
Great way for kids to express their feelings. I especially liked the page were the students could point to what hurt on their body. Very helpful!
We created both desk versions and lanyard versions of this resource. That way, my students who have difficulties communicating their needs can use it in class and in other places in the school. It’s super handy!
I provided this resource for my client and their parents to use at home. The parents reported that they have been able to support their child to identify what is wrong a lot quicker than beforehand.
This resource is great for students who use less spoken communication when they are emotionally disregulated. It has allowed me to get a general idea of what has bothered them as well as how I could help them!
