Livestream Training Series: Social Thinking Vocabulary and Strategies

Social Thinking Vocabulary and Strategies

Using the 4 Steps of Communication and the Social Thinking–Social Competency Model as a backdrop, attendees will learn about the role of social attention, interpretation, problem solving, and social responses as part of navigating and self-regulating in the social world. We explore how to teach, and learn the evidence base for, core treatment* frameworks and a handful of unique and practical strategies based on the Social Thinking Vocabulary. Attendees will learn how one’s social attention to the situation and people in the situation can encourage understanding of the expected behaviors for that social context. We also describe ways to teach interpreting and responding by making smart guesses to discover hidden social rules and the relationship to social emotional learning.

*Treatment refers to using conceptual and strategy-based frameworks to help individuals improve their social competencies.

The foundation of our work provides interventionists (teachers, speech language pathologists, therapists, clinicians, parents) and social learners with frameworks, tools, skills and a shared language to improve social competencies—more than just social skills.

Our 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.

At some point we all struggle in social situations. Engaging in a social emotional thinking/feeling based process can be difficult at times for everyone in the social world. Our role as interventionists is to help motivate social learners to "do the work" and explore how we all share social expectations, thoughts, feelings, make mistakes and try again as we learn to navigate our way toward our social goals. The practical nature of our teaching and the concrete way we explain social concepts helps engage people in social learning not only about themselves but about others.

Attendees Are Raving About Our Livestream Courses

Counselor

Just wow! I'm so amazed by the depth and breadth of insights and strategies. I wish I could absorb them all at once! This methodology is priceless for my work with students who struggle. Thank you so much!

Gen. Ed. Teacher & Mom

I was already able to utilize yesterday’s lessons with my son in helping him take dynamic organization and make it static in which I was previously too general assuming he understood what to do during mini breaks from online school rather than instantly get on more technology. I could literally see his confidence boost today during his breaks. Thank-you!

Social Worker

In regards to how much I learned, there was some content that I'm already familiar with; however, there was new information that will be helpful that I will use when servicing my students. This was a good 2-days webinar filled with information and resources. Thank you!

Gen. Ed Teacher

This livestream was very beneficial; thank-you! I realize what works for one child differs from student to student, but the strategies given at the end of the livestream were very helpful. I’m hoping there will be many more tomorrow.

I’ve always struggled with where to begin when working to support my disorganized students. Although I’ve done some things right, I’ve learned how to approach other things differently.
