Identifying emotions -- in other people, and in themselves -- can be particularly difficult for children with special needs. They often completely miss visual cues that should let them know how others are feeling, and may respond inappropriately. Here are five fun ways to help your child learn what facial expressions mean, how to recognize emotions in others, and what those same emotions feel like to them.

This free online game presents a choice of expressive photos for various emotions and invites kids to pick the right one. If they guess wrong, they can try again.
