Children that have Autism struggle to express what they feel. With this visual a child can show you even if they don't have the language to tell you. You want to make sure you are verbally labeling the emotions as they are expressing them. By using verbal prompts like, "looks like you are feeling angry."
This blog site has all different strategies that have worked for me depending on the child. I hope these can be helpful for parents and educators on this journey called Autism.

Responsibility: taking care of your pet
Have you ever heard of nano pets? Well these little devices have a virtual pet in them that you can attach to your backpack, pant loop or braclet. If you don't take care of your virtual pet the pet will disappear and you will need to start over. This is a great device to teach children with Autism how to be responsible and take care of their pets.

Sensory Toys

I'm Thinking About...
This work system can help children with Autism stay on task. Most children that have Autism seem to go into their own head and not know how to stop thinking about that movie or toy. With this work system you can draw what the task is inside the head to show them what they need to be thinking about.
Asking Questions
This work system is to help children with Autism ask questions in an appropriate matter. This is geared toward a school environment. So it gives the child steps to follow to ask a question.
