How do You Feel Feeling Chart - Premium Durable Plastic –Communication Cards –Visual Schedule Kids –Special Education Classroom –Autism Learning (English)

This system is a great and simple way to help delayed children of special needs to recognize different emotions and to move the face to what they are feeling I think better helps them relay that "I'm angry so this face is how I feel" or "I'm happy so this face is me right now" my son is special needs and developmentally delayed by 2 years and getting him to recognize different emotions he is feeling before he gets overwhelmed has been a challenge but this system is really helping him better communicate his feelings and what we need to do to help him so he doesn't get overwhelmed. The travel size one is also great to have songs can even show us when we are out and about.

I've been trying to come up with ways to work with my very verbal preschooler who goes almost completely non-verbal and physical when upset, and I've turned to ASD-responsive products for help. I *love* the keyring. You can flip through feeling faces in various stages of strong emotion, and incorporate this tool into role play/discussions. For example, when my kid is fine and playing with action figures, I might pick one up and instigate a fight with one of the other characters, then work one up into meltdown level drama. I then pick up the keyring and ask the character how it's feeling... and it goes with "frustrated", which is the most intense emotion on the ring. So, I interact with the character, ask it to verbalize its feelings, and make it say "I'm mad because I was playing with the (whatever)", which is a less intense emotion than frustrated, and we flip to that picture on the key ring. Then, I maybe suggest that it share and let the other action figure play with the whatever right now, and hey look, there's a car over there that you can play with for a while, until your toy of choice is available again. Then, I check in with the character, and it's down to "sad" on the key ring, so we discuss what it's like to not be able to play with your toy of choice for a while... then we check in, and it's on the keyring picture of "content". We keep walking down the intensity of emotions this way. After the first time I did this with action figures, my child picked it up and started interacting with the characters the same way. We've gone through several scenarios this way, and I think my child is catching on that you can walk your way down the intensity of emotions. I have brought out the key ring for my child's own expression of feelings, but it's always more effective if we've done the role play within a few days.... so that's what I aim to do. Just bought it a few weeks ago but I am seeing slightly more verbalization- at least "I'm frustrated," or "I'm mad" gets announced, which is a helpful starting point.

Pleasantly surprised by the quality of this Feelings Board, which is printed on durable plastic. The colors are vibrant, and the pictures are clear and simple. It's just slightly bigger than a sheet of paper (this is size A4?), which is my preference not to be too big. Additionally, it comes with a key ring with separate individual "feelings" pieces to use when away from home. I'm excited to finally have a visual aid to help our 4 year old ASD son sort out his emotions!

We put this on my 10 year old autistic daughters door. It is working out PERFECTLY!!! WE know that when it is on 5, she is needing alone time in her room to calm herself down. I can see just by walking by her bedroom door how she is doing. She is verbal but unable to let us know her moods in words. With this, we can see when she is struggling with something or needs sensory input or needs to be alone to think. It is sturdy, easy to use and perfect!! Thank you!

This is exactly what I wanted and needed. However, the velcro was put on wrong. Soft stays and hard travels. I had to remove the velcro and put on new for it to work for my classroom.

The board is smaller than I thought and it only came with two Velcro dots for the six pictures. I had to use my own Velcro. Not a good product for the money.

I am thankful for this feelings board. Yes it small, for me, its just the right size, it doesn't need to be big. I had initially made my own at first, but its not as good as this, and i wore my "home made" out fast. The size is perfect coz i wanna carry it everywhere and i usually carry a small bag when I'm out with my son. the pictures are simple and on point, my son, he has moderate to severe autism, he is 5, familiarized it on the first night. Will continue to buy their products.

This has been a tremendous help for us. She uses this daily now. And now she is slowly learning to verbalize a few emotions.
