Dr. Bradley Nelson –
I would recommend to make it as fun as you can for them! Probably more than most people, special needs people tend to be in touch with their deep feelings, and if you approach them with a heart full of love and sincere desire to help them, they will feel it. Think of yourself as coming to them as an angel from God, with healing and love and caring, and they will respond.

First, look for a Heart-Wall! In every case of autism, for example, a Heart-Wall has always been present. In general, be gentle, and pay attention to any reactions the client has. Special needs people can sometimes be more obvious than the average person about how they are feeling. If they have a strong emotional reaction after releasing a trapped emotion or other imbalance, you may want to hold off on doing more until later. But let their body tell you what it needs and let your intuition guide you too. With any client, it’s important to keep good records. In a case with a special needs client, you may want to take notes before the session, documenting certain symptoms and how strong or troublesome they are on a scale of 1-10. This could include anything from emotional distress to mobility issues to eye contact – you name it. If you achieve significant progress with a client and you have good records of it, others will want to know! Our goal as healers is to use The Emotion Code and The Body Code to help heal and change the world one person at a time. Our fellow humans with special needs may have a lot of room for improvement with our help, so let’s help them!

I have only worked with a child so far, but use a parent as proxy and keep it lighthearted. Children love to join in the release using the magnet!

Stay flexible and open to your intuitive guidance and be willing to work creatively. Remember that you can access the Governing meridian at any point between the upper lip, up over the head and down to the base of the spine to do the release work. When I work with children I talk to them directly, stay calm and praise them for being such good helpers. After each release we celebrate with a high-five. They love it!

Depending on the nature of the special need, use a surrogate or a proxy, provide a safe, welcoming environment for the special needs person and their guardian or assistant.

I have worked with a young lady with CP, many of her trapped emotions were passed from her parents after her birth when she was deprived of oxygen, very healing for all! Also I have worked with 2 clients with autism and had two very different sessions. Has anyone worked with individuals with schizophrenia or bi-polar ?
I work with people with special needs ( especially autism) and would like to hear what results have been observed (with emotion code) , has there been noticable changes with peoples behaviour ,not having used this method , but it certainly may provide help for many special needs people
Working proxy for my 17 now 18 year old son with a practitioner. 4sessions in we had removed the most of the heart wall plus many many other emotions form recent traumas. A few days later he became physically aggressive and his ‘meltdown’lasted days. My inclination is to back off awhile or to be sure that future work is direct with him, so far he is resistant. any suggestions? Do you think the events are linked?
It makes sense to me that there would be a lot trapped after all the life traumas but perhaps the emotion code work needs to be wrapped in other approaches that soften, ease or otherwise accommodate the changes. after all changes and transitions are one of the biggest challenges for people on the Autistic spectrum. thoughts please.
Often if my special needs clients are reluctant about any process, I ask parents what they’d like to work on to demonstrate how their child might like it. This works so well with Emotion Code, since the parent demonstration can be so quick and beneficial ( by intent). We proceed with parent as the focus and the children are always curious and then intrigued about trying, whether because they see or sense a positive change for their parent or hear a spontaneous positive comment made by their parent. They also enjoy checking out the magduo and trying it on themselves or their parent, and then are more open to and are eager for their turn. They enjoy the choice of where on the Governing Meridian they’d like to use the magduo, or on a surrogate. Often when they start with a surrogate, I’ve had them change to receive for themselves.
I am a mother of 19 year old young and handsome man with autism. I work with him remotely and I am a proxy. The key is in asking the right questions for the best benefit of our special people. I also work with kids with emotional problems and the effect is especially noticeable with kids in crises. I was working with one kid that was suicidal. He was with the bunch of mental health professionals holding him and trying to talk to him… I went to the other room and worked with emotion code. His state shifted dramatically by the end of my session. He became very calm and asked if he still had enough time to finish his homework before his mom comes to pick him up. Amazing!
From my heart to yours with love and gratitude, Nella

Wonderful testimonial! I’m so happy for the young man you helped. What a relief to see such a positive shift in someone who was suicidal. Thank God!
