We developed and used an instrument to obtain data about children emotions from SLT (external emotion evaluation) and from the involved children (self emotion evaluation). Data were processed by two different mathematical methods for checking the similarity. The results have shown that there is a good consistency between external and self emotional evaluations and these findings encourage us to continue our researches for adding an affective extension to our Computer Based Speech Therapy (CBST
