In our virtual group session, we will discuss a strategy that may be helpful in communicating emotional states: The Incredible 5-Point Scale. Children or youth who are interested in learning about the strategy for themselves are welcome to join their parents!

In the week following, we will meet individually with each family (virtual or in person) to support the development of their own individualized scales that can be used within the home.

A follow-up meeting the next week is when we will discuss any successes or barriers to using the scales and whether any ‘tweaking’ has to be made to make the scales more effective for you and your family!
