Social Thinking provides a deeper way to teach social emotional learning (SEL) and connects the dots between developing students’ social competencies to academic achievement and relationship building across developmental ages.
Our products, free webinars and articles, and online training equip educators, clinicians, parents, and caregivers with strategies to unpack how we learn social competencies, helping make the implicit social emotional knowledge and strategies (that students are expected to learn intuitively) explicit through use of practical concepts and strategies.
