Identifying correct emotional support

Hi!

I am currently working with a child who is in year 5 with autism. Now I am new to working with children in the older years as I have only worked with children within the early years.

Now I was wondering if anybody could advise me on how to support my child with identifying emotions (as he appears to struggle with identifying emotions, especially from other friends in his class) He is within a mainstream setting, which is benefitting him a lot! However, I would love if anybody had any tips or stratedgies to support my childs emotional identification!!

Have a wonderful day all!!

    Hi TTaborda25,

    Have you worked with a child (or children) on the spectrum before?

    The road to hell is paved with good intentions.

    I would suggest that you access some Autism specific professional development training through your employer before embarking on using any therapeutic interventions with a child.
