Five Point Scale

The five point scale is a way of helping your child communicate how they are feeling.

We use it so people could understand how Smile 1 was feeling without him having to talk to them. We also used it so he could develop more of an understanding of his feelings and different emotions.

This tool is based on the Incredible 5 Point Scale developed by Buron, K. D., & Curtis, M. (2003).
