Matt Casper is a psychotherapist who helps kids with autism and other development delays learn to express emotions. Emotes consists of 24 characters, each of whom relates to a different emotion. For example, Bubba is happy, Mixy is confused, and Boom is angry. These characters make up 15 books, comics, and play therapy toys. Emotes is designed so that parents and children can work through issues such as bullying or self-esteem. Casper states, “Emotes teach children that bringing emotions into the light of awareness is far healthier than trying to hide them in the dark.”
