Educators in school programs are challenged to help children with severe emotional problems learn to use language to express their thoughts and feelings and describe and process their emotional conflicts. For a variety of reasons, such children usually have not acquired skills in this realm through normal developmental processes. They require deliberate instruction, training, and practice by all members of collaborative teams of professionals that include skilled speech-language pathologists, special education teachers, and counselors, among others.

This article reviews aspects of normal affective development and the accompanying language of feelings, explains how children with behavioral and emotional problems diverge from normal patterns, and describes relevant intervention programs for early childhood and the primary and intermediate grades.

KEY WORDS: language development, language of feelings, emotional disorders, behavior disorders, special education
