Pause Cards provide a clear, low-pressure way to communicate that extra time or space is needed before continuing a conversation or activity. They can be particularly helpful for individuals with PDA (Pathological Demand Avoidance), autism, ADHD, anxiety or emotional regulation differences, but can be used by anyone who finds it difficult to continue communicating when overwhelmed, frustrated or defensive.
A Pause Card can be shown instead of trying to explain how you are feeling. The options on the card give simple ways to communicate what is needed, such as asking for time, requesting space or recognising that emotions are becoming too intense. This helps reduce pressure, prevents situations from escalating and encourages returning to the conversation once everyone feels calmer and ready.
