VALUING NEURODIVERSITY


Respecting neurodiversity is important. Navigating the complex social world to
meet one's self-determined goals is also important. They aren’t mutually
exclusive! We provide social emotional teaching strategies, not to “fix” or
“cure” individuals with learning differences, but instead offer a methodical,
concrete way of understanding how the social world works.

you, too. Whether you're teaching individuals with ADHD, autism spectrum (levels

friends, are more successful academically, and generally happier in all they do.
Thank you! - Jennifer, Special Education Teacher


WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING ABOUT SOCIAL THINKING

Mental Health & Clinicians



The Social Thinking Methodology is the philosophy that I ascribe to
professionally. It serves as my guide through assessment and intervention.

Greg, School Psychologist

Speech Language Pathologists



I love how realistic the approach is, and doable! Based on real clinical
experience adaptable to individual needs/strengths. Great that all the
vocabulary is simple, easy to understand, and not full of professional shop
talk.

Amy, SLP

Parents & Families



Social Thinking’s program has given me the much needed tools to communicate in a
meaningful way with my 9-year-old son. Thank you. The stress level in our house
has decreased along with the meltdowns. He is able to come out of the meltdowns
much more readily.

Tammy, Mom of 9 year-old boy

Adult Clients



I am a professional, high-functioning 37 year old woman diagnosed as being on
the spectrum two years ago. The Social Thinking Methodology is by far the most
helpful resource I have encountered. It would not be an exaggeration to say that
it changed my life. Your concrete examples are extremely helpful.

Autistic Adult

Parents & Families



Thank you doesn’t seem enough for all that your teachings have done for me and
my family! They have been a lifeline for me to re-connect with my 9-year-old.
Everything you publish is 100% applicable. Keep up the amazing work!

Parent of 9 year old

Elementary School



Social Thinking has completely changed the environment of who we are as a whole.
Thank you for providing us with such rich social and emotional resources. The
impact that your resources make are life changing and early intervention is key.
Your curriculum is truly amazing! I bought into Social Thinking about 9 years
ago and will use this as long as I am in education.

Natalie, Resource Teacher

Schools



I appreciate how the Social Thinking Methodology links social intent/thinking
and the common core or school based standards. This connection, and the
understanding that exists, is so crucial to every member of a student's school
community.

SOCIAL THINKING SPEAKERS: GLOBAL TRAINING EXPERTS

The Social Thinking Training and Speakers' Collaborative (STTSC) consists of 13
clinicians, including Michelle Garcia Winner and Dr. Pamela Crooke, who train
around the world on the Social Thinking Methodology in addition to working
closely with schools, clients, and families. All of our speakers have an active
caseload and provide training to help schools embed Social Thinking’s teachings
across all aspects of the educational day in public and private schools. We also
work with universities as well as businesses to help adults continue to develop
stronger social communication skills. Please note that the members of our STTSC
are the only people licensed and approved to give training on the Social
Thinking Methodology.

The speaker did an excellent job at keeping our attention and broke the
information down in a way that was easy to understand and gave us a process to
help ensure we could implement what we learned.
