Created by Lawrence E. Shapiro, Ph.D. This card game is designed to simulate a standard 52-card deck - with a twist! Instead of numbered cards there are 13 different children and instead of the four traditional suits there are four social skills areas - Having Fun, Inviting a Friend, Talking, and Solving a Problem. As children play the game, they make up stories that demonstrate social awareness using the 13 different character cards. The instructions suggest four ways to play, but these entertaining cards can be used in dozens of other creative ways.

The goal is to educate players about a specific disorder and provide skills for managing the disorder. There are five decks of cards, one for each disorder: Anxiety, Depression ADHD, Asperger's, and Bipolar Disorder. Blank cards are included so that counselors/teachers can write their own questions or comments. The game includes 5 sets of cards (54 cards in each set), directions, and a bag of chips. Children with weak or emerging reading skills can have the cards read to them.
