From my reading around the subject and talking to experts in the area it seems that something like the Subtle Stone could have real promise for children with special educational needs.
If children with special educational needs have trouble expressing their emotions, could the Subtle Stone provide the means by which they can express their emotions to those around them more easily? Could the colour:emotion language be made less private so that children in a Special Educational Needs classroom can easily see how the other children in the classroom feel? Would any of these advantages translate into having a positive impact on these children's social interactions outside the classroom?
