Understanding Emotions of Special Needs Children
in Development ClassAbout this course
Introduction
When it comes to having a child with special needs, there is one thing that you need to deal with and that is emotions. It is definitely hard to read, understand and deal with it. If typically developing child still gets confused with emotions, then it is twice as hard to a child with special needs. At times, even more. This is because these kids have difficulty recognizing emotions. For some, they are not even aware of all these.
One of the major fallouts of these challenges can be picking up on social cues. Teaching students with special needs to not only identify emotions and facial expressions but the associated feelings and scenarios that go along with that can help our students fit in better and have more successful social lives.
Our children will need us to listen to them. They need someone to sit down and listen to what they have to say. They need someone who would acknowledge every emotion they are feeling. If your child is non-verbal, help validate their emotions by giving voice to what they may be feeling.
How can we understand our child’s emotions better?
