Based on Howard Gardner's Theory of Multiple Intelligences, this poster collection is designed to help students recognize the many different ways they can be smart. The vibrant, illustrated posters provide fun visuals and clear language for understanding and discussing individual brain strengths.
 
A Resource for Neurodiversity-Affirming Spaces:
For neurodivergent students, including those who are autistic or have ADHD, seeing their non-traditional strengths visually validated can be incredibly affirming. These posters help shift the focus from challenges to talents by celebrating a wide range of abilities like Body Smart, Nature Smart, and People Smart. They help reinforce the idea that there are many ways to learn and succeed.
 
This collection supports students by:
Building Self-Awareness: The "I'm smart at..." posters give students the language to identify and name their talents, from figuring out problems (Logic Smart) to enjoying music and rhythm (Music Smart).
Fostering Self-Advocacy: The "I need..." posters help students understand what supports their learning, like needing quiet time to think (Self Smart) or activities that let them move (Body Smart), and encourages them to ask for what they need.
 
These posters are a great resource for educators, special education teachers, and school counselors looking to decorate a classroom/office or to support a "Calming Corner." For school psychologists, these may serve as excellent visual aids during psychoeducational assessments to help students identify strengths beyond cognitive and achievement, and as tools to facilitate discussions in counseling or advocacy sessions. They are a practical addition for anyone focused on social-emotional learning (SEL) and building an inclusive school culture.

For the best quality and durability, we recommend the following:

Professional Printing: For larger poster sizes (16x20" and up), we recommend using a professional printing service such as a local print shop, Staples, FedEx Office, or Office Depot for the most vibrant and high-quality results.
