This week our focus is on emotions. We are reading the book Glad Monster, Sad Monster. This book explores lots of different emotions, how these emotions make us feel, and how we might look when we experience these different emotions.
For children with Autism, identifying and understanding emotions is harder to do. However, emotions can be taught, and it is best to start exploring and learning about emotions at a young age. This week we practiced making monster emotion puppets, and matched emotions drawn onto different balloons.
There are also a variety of iPad apps that can assist students in learning about emotions. This website has a few suggestions about apps that teach emotions; we use "Touch and Learn - Emotions" in our class.
