Social Emotional Learning (SEL) programs such as Emotional ABCs help establish strong emotional competency skills which often overlap with other modalities that are specific to the needs of a child with autism. Particularly, Emotional ABCs helps children identify and communicate their emotions (self-awareness), and the emotions of others (social awareness), and shows children an easy-to-use, repeatable sequence of behaviors to help regulate emotions (self-management).

”I work as a school psychologist, and provide therapy for students with both ASD and ADHD. I love the strategies and emotional ABCs! I see my students putting the strategies in practice and have had a lot of positive feedback from parents about how much better their children are doing at regulating their emotions. It’s especially helpful for kids with ASD, EBD and ADHD, as it helps them learn to recognize cues in themselves and others and identify specific emotions. I would definitely recommend this for all elementary age students, but especially students with special needs!”
