Brain battery printable | Autism sensory regulation & emotional regulation visual support

A visual communication tool to help children recognise, communicate and support their sensory and emotional regulation needs.

Many autistic and neurodivergent children notice changes in their body long before they have the words to explain what's happening.

The Brain battery gives children a simple, visual way to communicate how much energy they have, identify when they're starting to feel overwhelmed and learn what helps them recharge.

Rather than focusing on behaviour, this resource encourages body awareness, self-advocacy and communication.

Perfect for use at home, school, with other carers, at after-school activities or childcare.

The template contains:

• An introduction to the Brain battery concept
• Parent guidance and battery-level explanations
• Pages exploring what helps recharge or drain energy
• A “What does my battery need?” communication guide
• A personal recharge plan
• Teacher notes with supportive communication prompts
• Blank labels and a blank battery worksheet for customisation
