The CAT-Kit. Tony Attwood, Kirsten Callesen, and Annette Moller Nielsen (2009) Tony Attwood explains in his book the affective cognitive training program to improve communication. The world-renowned expert on Asperger’s syndrome, Dr. Tony Attwood, has created a powerful yet easy-to-use tool that goes straight to the core of the thoughts and emotions behind behavior. The CAT-Kit offers a simple and practical way for young people to communicate with adults and each other. It is a program consisting of visual, interactive, and customizable communication elements for children and youth. Students become aware of how their thoughts, feelings, and actions interact, and in the process of using the various visual components, they share their knowledge with others. It is an easy and effective way to work with neurotypical children and individuals with developmental disabilities. The program has proven valuable for teachers, counselors, parents, therapists, and other professionals. It includes a folder with a 55-page manual, 10 visual dry-erase tools, and over 90 feelings with their corresponding faces and words.
