The CAT-kit was initially designed and developed in Denmark for autistic individuals of all ages.
CAT stands for Cognitive Affective Training, and the kit comprises engaging and informative activities designed to encourage open communication about experiences, thoughts, and feelings.
The kit includes 60 expressive faces and feelings words, a measure of the intensity of feelings, thoughts and experiences, and a body figure to explore body sensations associated with feelings.
There are also resources to clarify social relationships, determine fluctuations in mood over time and strategies to structure conversations about thoughts and feelings.
