Think Social! A Social Thinking Curriculum for School-Age Students
Think Social! is a curriculum written by speech-language pathologist and Social Thinking® founder, Michelle Garcia Winner. Its 8 chapters and 69 lessons provide core information for how we work and relate to each other in groups. The book’s practical descriptions for why and how we teach specific social emotional concepts, including detailed, step-by-step instruction, continue to make this book a highly valued resource.
Each chapter addresses how to use and interpret language (verbal and nonverbal) to understand the contexts where real communication happens. The lessons span kindergarten through adulthood. Teachers, speech-language pathologists, parents, therapists, and other caregivers are encouraged to modify activities to better fit the age and specific needs of their students.
Think Social! is a core Social Thinking curriculum book and complements Thinking About YOU Thinking About ME. The book provides step-by-step methods for teaching social-cognitive and -communicative skills to students who have these challenges that affect their school and home life. Students and adults with high-functioning autism and Asperger's Syndrome, nonverbal learning disability, ADHD and similar difficulties, diagnosed and undiagnosed, have benefited from these methods.
The curriculum is designed to assist children across school ages and adults (young and old) with the following diagnoses, but is not limited to any diagnosis:
- Asperger Syndrome
- Pervasive Developmental Disorder - Not Otherwise Specified (PDD-NOS)
- High-Functioning Autism
- Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder (ADHD)
- Hyperlexia
