One of the questions we often get is whether a Socio-Emotional Assessment can be used as a Voice of the Child. 💭

In this post we discuss how and why a comprehensive Socio-Emotional Assessment can offer a rich and defensible representation of the child’s voice. 💬

Projection cards: A window into a child’s inner world 🌈

In socio-emotional assessments, projection cards help children express feelings and experiences they might not yet have the words for.

At FACT, we have developed our very own set of projection cards, as we recognised the need for projection cards that are inclusive of factors such as race and gender, and take into consideration that not all families are nuclear 🏡

We have also included projection cards that enable children to discuss difficult topics that they might struggle with in our world today, such as the card below which touches on matters of gender identity/dysphoria.

Interested in learning more about the use of projection cards in child assessment? Join us for our next round of Socio-Emotional Assessment training starting 28 Jan 2026📝
