Feelings Detective helps all children understand their own feelings as well as the feelings of others. It is especially helpful for children who tend to misread social cues, including those who have been diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome or are at any other position on the Autism Spectrum.

Without the ability to recognize feelings in themselves and others, children are not able to master social interactions.
