Abstract
The language therapy program described arose from the authors' desire to teach adolescents to express their thoughts and feelings and also to interpret appropriately the feelings of others. The program was designed for use with behavior disordered (BD) adolescents and was used concurrently with a group of language/learning disabled (L/LD) adolescents. Line drawings depicting facial expressions were used to train the abstract concepts of feelings. Schemas were developed for identifying ranges of similar emotions within categories, and new vocabulary was introduced. Special behavior considerations for use of the program with BD adolescents are discussed.
