Synopsis
Based on the newest research on the predictive brain and ASD, this highly engaging workbook is an ideal way to help teach children with autism spectrum disorder to identify, assess the intensity of, and respond appropriately to their emotions. Children learn to identify situations that are big deals, medium deals, and small deals and the emotions that match these situations. My Book Full of Feelings: How to Control and React to the SIZE of Your Emotions - An Interactive Workbook for Parents, Professionals, and Children is fully interactive. By using a dry-erase marker, unique situations and solutions can be added and changed with the wipe of a paper towel, as the child masters a skill and grows. Also included is a communication pad for tracking and sharing information between home and school - an important component of effective programming. The educational book is a great tool for all children, including those with autism spectrum disorder.
