52 Essential Inclusion Skills

I received these cards, and I really like them. I love the message on the cards. The cards come in two sets. The challenge for me is i did not understand the instructions or how to use the cards, but I will still be able to find a creative way to use them, and that is why I like them.Each card has a word on it, and one card has the definition of the word, and the other card tells how to apply that word.That is why I love the cards so much. I gave four stars just because I did not feel the instructions were clear enough, but other than that I actually love the cards, and would recommend the cards.I think the cards are great for teachers, therapist, mental health providers, parents etc.The could be used as ice breakers, used when talking about diversity, and inclusion.These cards would be a great stocking stuffer Christmas which is right around the corner.Also all the cards have a scan code on them so you can learn more about the topic on the card which is very cool.

These have good questions and explanations. I like the range of vocabulary for the cards. These would be good for a group or individual session.

This wasn't quite what I expected. It was fun, but we couldn't relate to all the cards. I understand this is a learning game but, it didn't fit my intention for a teen group setting. Overall it's okay but we probably won't use these too often.

This card deck was rather confusing and disappointing for me. The idea as described seemed sound enough, for looking at the cards themselves their purpose is not as salient as I would have hoped.For some reason, I had expected to get cards that would be like flash cards to help educate others and inspire thoughtful conversation. The premise that these can spark 52 conversations is a stretch, given that the cards have two for each concept or vocabulary term, meaning there are in actual fact 26 possibilities.The icons for the suits of the cards were designed confusingly: the hearts, clubs, etc look like little emojis with their limbs and faces. I didn’t catch on that this was a deck of playing cards right away, that’s how unobvious that part of the design is. The QR codes do lead to interesting personal stories, but playing a basic card game doesn’t really lend itself to whipping out your phone and stopping to read them. And doing so potentially shows others your cards, which is often something you don’t want to do while playing a card game.From a disability advocacy and self-advocacy standpoint, I cannot recommend this deck. The emphasis seems to be exclusively on medical disabilities and had no obvious mention of the differences between the social model of disability and the medical model. Perhaps this deck’s simply out of date.Anyway, I’d say back to the drawing board with this one.

These are great card games to really ask thought provoking questions. I have used variations of these questions found from books to events in my kids lives or just asking them what their high and lows are for their day. These questions take on a deeper level and really help with problem solving as well as working on emotional intelligence. I want my kids to be empathic and these questions work on kindness, compassion and respect. These are great for you as parents, or even just as adults to reflect on as well.States it’s for kids 4 and older, however, I think that might be a little mature for that age group but that depends on each child. My kids are 7 and 10 and I feel like we have engaged in a lot of discussions when they are the mindset to share.

I love the quality, especially of the case. The case seals tightly, keeping the cards from getting spilled all over. The cards have a wax/shine feel to them. They are flexible like playing cards and have the markings as such. I think the information on them is great. It’s been a great learning tool for my kiddos. I think the quality and value align.

Small cards, like a deck of cards. Come in a nice time to store all of the cards. The first card lists some ideas for using the cards. The A-Z cards list a word, the meaning, and then there is a card that has a prompt using the word. Most are reflective in nature, some are more action oriented.4/5 because most of the cards are useful for inclusion activities. Some of the cards start leaning towards medical without the acceptance part. They included treatment and symptoms and go through what those are. Not sure how useful those are for doing activities with students.

This has a positive effect on my children and some of the children that I encountered at school. The children learned nearly with a year's worth of from these kit: kindness and overall respect, and has made a positive change to our lives. Definitely worth the investment!

These cards are alphabetical and contain a variety of terms. I used some during Morning Meeting to introduce certain concepts of diversity and tolerance. I also used some when the students (6th graders) had questions about terms and these cards helped. I was not able to incorporate them into Workshop this year as a partner card game activity because a) we didn’t end up talking about all the cards and b) I wasn’t sure the best way to incorporate them into a card game. I wonder if the game aspect might work better with older students. I think this group needed the Gratitude/Attitude version more. Ha! I am switching to 1st grade next year, and I hope to continue incorporating these into Morning Meeting. The cards are well made and I like that they come in a nice protective tin. They are easy to keep on your desk or throw in a bag for groups on the go.

I ordered this to use with my partner and my son, DIL, and grandson; I wish for my grandson to grow up in a world where empathy, compassion, and inclusiveness aren't seen as weaknesses like my parents and my MIL and FIL do. And the best way to make that world happen is for him to learn early that different doesn't mean lesser or incapable, just that other people have different challenges in their lives, and then work to teach our friends and families the same. It may not work with some people with firmly-entrenched beliefs who won't even discuss this subject, but I believe this deck has useful conversation-starting questions for anyone whose mind isn't totally closed.The cards themselves are playing-card sized, and marked with the standard 4 suits, so they can be used as a playing card deck as well when the inclusion lessons have been learned. Each has either a description of a lifestyle factor that often needs inclusion, from mobility to balance to blindness and anxiety, or a couple of conversation-starter questions about that particular factor. They're printed on sturdy cardstock and have a glossy coating, and the box is sturdy enough to tuck in a pocket when heading to a workshop or family gathering.

As someone in their thirties, I appreciate practical tools that can make complex topics approachable, and this set nails it. The prompts are insightful and nurture emotional intelligence, which is crucial in today's world. They're not just for kids; I've learned a thing or two about physical wellness and mental health myself.One of the standout features is the focus on inclusivity. The cards cover a wide range of topics, from neurodivergence to chronic pain management, in a language that's easy to understand. I was impressed with how they handle sensitive subjects like invisible illness and disability – it's done with respect and empathy. The stories of real people living with strength and resilience are both inspiring and educational.They're not just educational; they're a great conversation starter and a tool for building social awareness. I've used them in a couple of group settings, and they've been a hit every time. The quality of the cards is top-notch, too – durable and well-designed.

This is a fun set of cards that give a wide range of tips for inclusuion and kindness. Comes in a metal tin box, easy to open and use.

I bought these cards to use in my mental health counseling practice, but I think they're better suited for classrooms, youth groups, home school, teams & clubs, etc. The cards are sturdy and attractive, and it's fun to shuffle and pick skills at random. I considered using them in one on one counseling, but after looking through them and considering how to incorporate the into my practice, I realized they were really going to be better for a younger audience in a group setting, or for people for whom inclusive skills were a new topic. Charming, fun, and useful in the right setting. I would definitely recommend these Essential Inclusion Skills cards to anyone looking to build pro-social skills.

Works well with its intended goal. Helps educate on emotion-centered ideas/topics. Card stock is thick and good quality. The metal case is good as well.Overall a good product, but the price is frankly not justifiable. The markup on a pack of cards is a little silly in my opinion. Regardless, it is a useful educational tool.

I love the idea of having an educational stack of cards sitting in an office while you wait, but I was a little disappointed with this particular set. The creators go thought the alphabet and define words like abled, balanced, chronic, emergency, etc. on each card in the deck. I don't think trying to follow the alphabet is the best approach to any field of study. For example, "numb" is their selection for "n." Shouldn't "neurodiversity" be in there?? I think it would be better to use as many of the most important terms related to inclusion as possible rather than trying to hit every letter of the alphabet once. With that said, I am pro-education and the concept of having a set of educational cards about a particular field is a neat idea.

Most excellent - four suits of Ace to King cards with notations on each card for strengthening personal character and/or playing card games. I first used this full deck to break in the cards by playing a card game. My cribbage partner and I liked the design and feel of the cards. We took turns riffle shuffling and dealing the cards during our game. Occasionally, we took a brief break in our game to discuss the title word and the thoughtful question on a card we decided to talk about when it came into view while we counted the points, or lack thereof, in our crib. The topics for discussion on these cards are appropriate for opening meaningful dialog between interested parties. The cards are cleverly designed to facilitate easy Internet access to additional topic details via a QR code on each card. This deck of playing cards is cost effective when used to help strengthen personal character traits and habits in regard to topics of diversity and disability.

This is a great educational or therapeutic tool to use. The cards are small enough for kids with smaller hands. The words are typed on each card with inclusion type words, examples and exercises on them. They are set up as a pack of playing cards and you can be creative in how you include them in your interactions with children and adults alike.

I've never had a deck of cards with essential skills on them for kids to learn. I think this is one of a kind card to have and to keep. It is a bit pricy, but if this is a learning tool for any ages, I think would be well worth it. The cards came in a tin box, which is really nice, and the deck is not flimsy at all. I think this would be a wonderful tool to spent time with young ones and discuss with them about what's said on the cards. Good for all ages!!

The quality of the cards is nice. I ordered the cards for middle school character education. Some of the cards were not useful but most of them are great conversation starters. Overall good but the price is a bit high.

I am very impressed with this set of cards. I like the design, from awareness to allyship to learning to advocate- this deck of cards covers it well. They come in a super handy tin container which will make keeping them clean and easy to transport. I actually picked these up for my daughter who teaches school, but once they arrived and I had a chance to review them I decided to keep these for my own personal teaching needs and will have to reorder her another set! Great quality and a good price!
