This study investigated the effectiveness of the instructional package entitled “My Emotions” in enhancing the emotional perception skills of children with autism, using the 80/80 criterion for instructional efficiency. The study adopted a one-group pretest–posttest design and involved 15 students with autism from Grades 1 to 3 at the Special Learning Centre for Students with Special Needs, Demonstration School of Ramkhamhaeng University. Participants were purposively sampled. The instruments employed were (1) the instructional package “My Emotions” and (2) an emotional perception assessment tool. The intervention was implemented twice per week, 40 minutes per session, over four weeks, totaling eight sessions. Data were analysed using the medians, instructional efficiency indices, and Wilcoxon signed rank test. The results demonstrated that the package achieved an effectiveness score of 84.67/85.33, which exceeded the 80/80 benchmark. Furthermore, a statistically significant improvement in emotional perception skills was observed following the intervention (p < .05), with posttest scores being higher than pretest scores. These findings suggest that the instructional package “My Emotions” has potential as an effective educational tool to support the development of emotional understanding in young children with autism.
