What is Social Thinking?Teaching social competencies—more than social skillsThe foundation of Social Thinking’s work is to provide interventionists (Teachers, Speech & Language Therapists, Clinicians & Parents) and social learners with frameworks, tools, skills and a shared language to improve social competencies—more than just social skills. Their goal is to help people learn explicitly how to engage in social information processing; how to attend, interpret, problem solve and respond in any situation – the thinking and doing skills that will aid them in becoming increasingly successful in the social world throughout their lives.To view all Social Thinking resources please click HERE.About the AuthorsMichelle Garcia WinnerPamela CrookeMichelle Garcia WinnerMichelle Garcia Winner, MA, CCC-SLP specialises in the treatment of individuals with social learning challenges and is the founder and CEO of Social Thinking®, a company dedicated to helping individuals, from four through adulthood, to develop their social competencies to meet their personal social goals.
