Michelle G. Winner's Center for Social Thinking
in San Jose, CA
The Center for Social Thinking is a friendly
supportive place where parents can learn about upcoming educational
events in the community, gain access to information about the
treatment approach Michelle and her staff is creating, purchase
her products and learn about scheduling consultation and assessment
appointments.
The goal is to educate all persons about the importance of
social cognitive deficits and how they impact students’ lives
across the day.
At the center students can engage in a range of activities
that help them to explore communication as an interactive process
of the heart, mind, eyes, ears and mouth!
Our goal is to help students engage with others during spirited
activities in a supportive environment.
At The Center for Social Thinking we also
acknowledge that this field is in its infancy and that we are
all just
beginning
to learn practical treatment approaches that really help students
to eventually process social-communicative information
in a deeper way.
