2013 South San Francisco Providers Conference
|
|
|
June 21, 22 & 23, 2013
The Providers Conference is a time for practitioners of Social Thinking, nationally and internationally, to come together to learn, share ideas and network. As the “Social Thinking movement” grows the hope is for attendees to gain knowledge and not have to “re‐create the wheel” as they develop practical programs and services allowing them to expand upon what others have shared.
PURPOSE OF THE CONFERENCE
- Encourage professionals who are running Social Thinking programs both in schools and private practice settings to come together to network, brainstorm and problem solve the delivery of Social Thinking services.
-
Report on research projects currently in progress or that have been completed.
-
Provide a means for sharing new and diverse topics related to Social Thinking and the treatment of individuals with social learning challenges.
- Provide an opportunity for professionals, individually or in teams to share their unique diagnostic, treatment or service delivery models related to Social Thinking.
- Share new data collection or qualitative assessment methods to assist professionals and students on the application of teaching Social Thinking concepts.
2013 Workshop Theme:
Respecting Those with Social Thinking Challenges: Teams Stand Up to Bullies and Beyond
