Unfortunately when I came to print the resource back to back, the margins on the 2 sheets didnt line up. This made the printing visually poor and messy. Is there a way that the margins can be realigned?
The tool makes it easier to get parents to understand the challenges related to sensory regulation and to try methods. I think the cards are suitable for all ages.
