Social Emotional Learning, Gestalt language, SEL, ASD, Special Education, neurodiversity-affirming, neuro-inclusive, Early Intervention, Autism, Speech Therapy, Kindergarten. Emer is a neurodivergent elephant with** sensory sensitivities** who changes color depending on her emotions. She focuses on teaching children the basic emotions of happy, sad, angry and scared, how to** identify these emotions **in themselves/others and how to manage their emotions.

The information in this stories is then repeated in the other stories to help children to consolidate it. Children can find emotions very difficult to learn and often find learning the whole range of emotions and complex emotions overwhelming, because of this it is important to first build a strong base by focusing on these key emotions. Includes: Four stories - Happy, sad, angry and scared. (Both in PowerPoint and pdf format so they can be used as a presentation or printed off and used as a book.)
