Emotional Literacy Resource
Emotional Literacy Resource ā 9-Worksheet Printable Pack for Neurodiverse Children Aged 6ā12
For parents, carers, teachers & music therapistsDesigned with neurodiverse populations in mind ā including autistic children and those with ADHD, sensory processing differences, PDA profiles, and other varied learning needs.
Looking for emotional literacy resources designed for neurodiverse children? This printable pack gives parents, teachers, carers, and music therapists nine structured worksheets and a comprehensive support guide for helping children aged 6ā12 identify, name, and begin to understand their emotions ā built specifically with neurodiverse minds in mind.
Neurodiverse children often feel emotions just as deeply ā sometimes more so ā but the way they experience and express those feelings doesn't always fit the standard scripts. They may act out before they can articulate. They may shut down before they can explain. They may feel things in their body before they reach their words.
This resource was created to meet children in those moments. Every worksheet, every glossary entry, and every page of guidance has been designed and tested by our registered music therapists, who work with neurodiverse clients across NDIS and community settings every day.
What's inside:
ā¢ 9 printable worksheets ā structured, age-appropriate activities designed to be accessible for neurodiverse learners, helping children explore and name emotions at their own pace
ā¢ Emotions glossary ā a plain-language guide to common actions, behaviours, and physical sensations linked to different emotions ā particularly useful for children who communicate feelings through behaviour, movement, or physical responses rather than words
ā¢ Introduction & how-to guide ā clear, jargon-free guidance so parents, teachers, and support workers can use this pack with confidence from day one, no therapeutic training requiredGrounded in evidence-based music therapy practice and real clinical experience ā because the best resources come from real sessions, not theory alone.
š Digital download ā instant access after purchase. Printable PDF, compatible with any home or office printer. Suitable for NDIS-funded support. For personal and professional use. Not for resale or redistribution.
