How to help a child

with Autism
Understand and
express emotions
How do you feel today?
It’s OK to feel
your feelings!
This is the only way you can
learn to express and manage
your feelings.
Visual supports are highly effective for children with autism
,as they often process information better visually such as
emotions cards and social stories
. Visual supports can be incredibly effective tools for expressing emotions, especially for
individuals with autism. These supports can take many forms, such as emotion charts,
social stories, or pictorial representations.
One popular method is the use of emotion cards, which display different facial
expressions and corresponding emotion words. These cards help individuals identify and
communicate how they are feeling. Another approach is creating a personalized emotion
scale, where individuals can point to a level or face that best represents their current
emotional state.
Social stories are also a valuable resource, providing narratives that illustrate various
emotional scenarios and appropriate responses. These stories can be customized to
reflect the individual's experiences, helping them understand and navigate complex
social interactions.
Visual timers and schedules can further aid in managing emotions by providing
predictability and structure, reducing anxiety and enhancing emotional regulation. By
incorporating these visual tools, caregivers and educators can create a supportive
environment that fosters emotional awareness and communication.
