My School Experience Teen+ Bundle: The Strategy Deck & The Strengths & Needs Deck | Ages 13 - 25 years
Help young people communicate what life, learning and their future feels like from their point of view.
The bundle includes both the Teen+ Strengths & Needs deck and the Teen+ Strategy deck, covering experiences of education alongside the key areas of preparing for adulthood.
How do they work?
Young people sort the Strengths & Needs deck into categories Like Me / Sometimes Like Me / Not Like Me, they can then further sort the cards into Want to Change / Happy With This creating opportunities for richer conversations without relying solely on direct questioning.
The Strategy deck cards are sorted into categories Helpful / Sometimes Helpful / Not Helpful, and can be further sorted into Already Works for Me / Would Like To Try.
Together, the cards can help you:
- understand what matters to the young person
- identify strengths alongside areas where they may need support
- explore barriers to learning, wellbeing, independence and participation
- discover strategies the young person feels would genuinely help
- support meaningful conversations
- translate the young person's views into practical next steps
Who are they for?
Designed for young people aged 13 - 25 years, Teen+ cards can be used by families, SENCOs, teachers, Psychologists and other professionals.
The cards cover the four broad areas of SEND alongside education and employment, independent living, participating in the community, and health - making them particularly useful for person-centred planning, EHCP assessments and reviews, transition planning and Preparation for Adulthood conversations.
At home, they can provide a less pressured way to understand what your teenager or young adult is experiencing and what they would like adults around them to understand.
