  •  Synopsis
    This book by Michelle Garcia Winner is based on the "I Laugh" Framework and covers the treatment and philosophy presented in her workshops and used in her clinic.
 
 
Michelle’s work encourages us to realize that teaching students “social skills” first requires us to understand more about the supporting social cognitive components and then work with students to increase their social thinking concepts. Michelle’s ideas are clearly articulated and supported by examples from her clinical experiences.
It provides practical strategies and techniques, including worksheets, for implementing social thinking and perspective-taking educational lessons as well as some ideas for related goal writing for use in IEP meetings.
This book helps the reader to understand the relationship between social skill deficits and difficulties with academic tasks such as reading comprehension, written expression and working as part of a group.
A chapter also helps to discuss how to work with the student who says, “I don’t care!” Another Chapter explores ideas for running social thinking/social skill groups.
Readers respond that this book is extremely user friendly. They have been very pleased with the book’s ability to break down social thinking into smaller more workable parts!

    “Michelle understands people with social cognitive deficits. Her programs and plans prove it. When Michelle makes a suggestion, I do more than merely listen, I do my best to bring it into my life and let it work its magic on my psyche. Michelle should be praised, thanked and heavily rewarded for giving so many good ideas and so much hope to we with any kind of Pervasive Developmental Disorder.”

    “Finally, a user-friendly book that addresses the social needs of children and youth with Asperger Syndrome and other neuro-cognitive challenges! This book is packed with wonderful ideas; forms and lesson content… everything that is needed to teach social skills. Ms. Winner uses the ILAUGH model to help students understand themselves and the world around them. I highly recommend this very original book!”
