Sensational Learners is a company with a passion to “bring the joys of learning through play to children of all ages and abilities.” For many individuals with autism or other special needs, recognizing emotions can be a challenge. Sensational Learners offers the My Feelings board game, which makes exploring, recognizing, and acting out emotions fun!
Claudia Faierman-Shulman is the founder of Sensational Learners Inc. Here’s the story behind the company:
“When one of her own children encountered a language delay, Claudia immersed herself in the world of special needs and education. She began attending every conference, workshop and lecture she could find on topics such as Autism, Sensory Integration, Social Skills Training and Feeding Management. She began reading, researching, educating herself and connecting with renowned clinicians. The more she learned, the more she realized the importance of learning through play!”
The My Feelings board game features seven basic feelings that players will first identify, then explore by drawing cards. As they play, children will “discover how to recognize feelings in themselves and in others, and to cope with them in socially appropriate ways.”
