Description: Flexible vs Rigid Thinking for Teens is a bundle of Boom Cards decks that help students shift from getting stuck on one idea to being able to bend when plans, rules, or expectations change. Created by an occupational therapist, it supports autistic and neurodivergent learners who find change, unexpected outcomes, and other people's choices difficult to accept. The decks build the skill in three layers: recognising flexible and stuck thinking in short scenarios, seeing a situation from someone else's point of view, and practising it all in a motivating board game format. Language is neurodiversity affirming and strengths based, with one task per card and low visual clutter. WHAT IS INCLUDED? 1. Flexible Thinking Board Game for Teens with Autism 2. Flexible Vs.
