Repair Cards can be used after a disagreement, misunderstanding or difficult moment when talking feels hard. They may be particularly helpful for autistic individuals, people with a PDA profile, those experiencing anxiety, emotional dysregulation, selective mutism or anyone who finds verbal communication difficult during times of stress. The cards allow an individual to communicate that they would like to repair the relationship, apologise, reconnect or move forward without the pressure of finding the right words. They can be used by children, young people and adults at home, in education settings, workplaces or anywhere relationships are important. Remember that everyone processes situations differently, so allow plenty of time and avoid placing pressure on the individual to engage before they are ready.
