Three core card decks:
​
50 individually hand drawn person double sided cards depicting neurodivergent attributes in the categories of sensory, cognitive, social, emotional, physical
​
50 individually hand drawn occupation double sided cards featuring a variety of everyday activities in categories of self care, self management and leisure.
​
50 individual environment double sided cards featuring types of places. ​
​
PLUS​:
- A PEO venn diagram game board
- Enabler and barrier tokens
- A 16 page instruction booklet
- A downloadable worksheet to record all of the combinations and determine energy drainers and chargers.

​




NDPEOPLE™ not only explores how these three concepts interact, but also considers the enablers and barriers to performance. This is achieved through the lens of energy accounting or spoon theory.
​
We consider which of the three elements (PEO) enables a good fit, and which may be a barrier to achieving fit.


On the back of the cards are some suggestions on how to adapt the activity or environment to create better occupational fit. ​​

NDPEOPLE also uses the concept of 5 batteries - social, emotional, cognitive, sensory and physical. Each battery has maximum 5 bars of power per activity.
​
Energy can be drained or charged in each to affect the performance of an activity in a certain context. This is examined across a week to determine energy leaks.


EFFECTIVE FIT - SPACE FOR PARTICIPATION
INEFFECTIVE FIT - NO SPACE FOR PARTICIPATION
