Description
A perfect fidget and sensory toy for the home, classroom, or therapeutic setting, Moody Face is an aid in developing social and communication skills in children with autism, ADHD, and Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD) that have difficulty in focusing and recognizing facial expression. Great fun for an individual or a group that can lead to hours of imaginative play.
Using tactile sensory input, children look at the expression on each head and create numerous new funny faces by squishing and squeezing the 2 inch pliable heads.
Behavioral therapists, communication specialists, and educators of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) will find that Moody Face helps children to maintain focus and attention during the activity and it teaches emotions to children that exhibit “flat effect” and have difficulty expressing emotion and recognizing emotion in others. Using Moody Face helps develop social and communication skills as children physically manipulate the heads and share information about the new facial expression that has been created. Understanding the changes will help children with ASD recognize and interpret facial expressions in the natural environment.
