[QUOTE="rejectedmom, post: 504138, member: 2315"] easy child/difficult child's Occupational Therapist (OT) had flash cards with facial expressions on them and my son would have to tell her what the child onthe card was feeling and make up a story as to why he was feeling that way. I found it a very direct and helpful therapy. She also told me to go through magazines and ask easy child/difficult child what the people in the pictures were feeling. I also did this with his picture books when I read to him. There are lots of ways to teach it. We just need to do it enough that it sinks in. Later on (there is 8 years between easy child/difficult child and difficult child) my difficult child had to use a mirror when he ate to teach him to be neater. He couldn't feel the food on his face. I often wondered if the use of a mirror would work to teach an autistic kid what each facial expression both looks and feels like. It would be a multi sensory approach so it might be very useful if used along with everything else.. [/QUOTE]
