Hi Danna,
Did you find anything? I had a look at the site suggested and it looks like there may be a few thing that could help X. Have a good weekend and I will see you on Monday.

If you pm me a specific psychology query I would be happy to help. Social Use of Language resources are very good for helping with social emotional stuff. put SULP into google [other search engines available]

A lot of the SEAL resources are good:

and the National Autistic Society was offering a free CD rom about emotions (about toy trains, etc), that is good.

Summertime is right, the free give away has now ended. Though I understand a lot of members applied for it so someone may have a copy they are not using.

You can find out more about them at

Also check out the download section. The character emotion pack has pictures of the characters showing different faces for different emotions. As the character faces are human my own feelings are these are much better then many of the ones I've seen using simple drawing or cartoons.

If you find the child has a favorite character they like the look of then one way of using them would be to print them off and get him to pick the one which represents how he feels.

But they are much better for looking at facial expressions and looking at particular parts of the face to see how different emotions can effect how we look.
