Clinician-created · facilitator review requiredFor clinician-facilitated use
This is a professional resource, not a child-facing online service. A licensed clinician or other qualified adult must determine suitability, explain and adapt the activity, and supervise its use. Do not direct a child to access this webpage independently or enter client information.
The full-resolution WebP includes print-safe margins and should be downloaded by an adult professional. Read the guidance below before using the page.
How to use it
- Choose a character, create your own, or focus only on the frames.
- Color or draw things you want to show about yourself.
- Change any picture so bodies, communication, clothing, family, or community fit you better.
- Keep any part private or skip it.
Reflection prompts
- What did you choose to include?
- What is one thing you want others to make room for?
- What would you like to add later?
Facilitator guidance
Invite self-definition without asking the child to represent every identity category. Avoid tokenism, assumptions about family or culture, and pressure to explain private choices.
Adaptations & accessibility
- Offer customizable body, hair, clothing, mobility, and communication pieces.
- Use photos, stamps, or stickers instead of drawing.
- Create an abstract page using colors, patterns, and objects only.
Professional-use review
Standard licensed-clinician, representation, and cultural-humility review required before use.
