The Hong Kong version of Westmead Feeling Program 2
Westmead Feelings Program (WFP) is a manualized emotion-based learning intervention for children on the autism spectrum. WFP teaches autistic children how to understand their own and other's emotions, solve problems, and regulate emotions through the implementation of transactional support. In doing so, parents and teachers are also trained to develop their emotional coaching skills to support children in everyday settings. Its impact on improving emotional competence in primary school-aged children on the autism spectrum has been established in 41 mainstream schools in Australia.
