On Demand Training Series: Zooming In

Zooming In on Strategies for those with Subtle yet Significant Social Differences and/or Challenges

In this two-part series we focus on individual social learners across the lifespan who are both Neurodivergent and Neurotypical who show subtle yet significant differences and/or challenges with social learning competencies. We will explore sophisticated ideas that foster the development of perspective taking, executive functioning, and social-emotional self-management. More specifically we will examine different aspects of emotional awareness of self and others, flexible thinking, social problem solving, self-advocacy and treatment* ideas to foster self-regulation, effective communication, and a sense of well-being.

 

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

Part 1: Understanding Social Learners with Subtle yet Significant Differences and/or Challenges

Part 1: Understanding Social Learners with Subtle yet Significant Differences and/or Challenges

Zooming In on Strategies for those with Subtle yet Significant Social Differences and/or Challenges

The focus of this course is to explore the needs of those with traits such as perfectionism, self-protective resistance, social anxiety, and executive functioning struggles. These individuals commonly have a diagnosis of ADHD, autism level 1, OCD, NVLD, social anxiety, twice exceptional and other learning differences—or may have no diagnosis at all). Usually in mainstream classes, these individuals struggle with the intricacies of developing social relationships, working through assignments, and engaging in peer-based groups. This course is part one of a two-part series where attendees will learn how issues with flexible thinking, emotional understanding of self and others, problem solving, self-advocacy, and nuanced social interpretations can contribute to subtle but significant social differences and/or challenges. Teachers and parents describe these learners as struggling with organization (executive functioning), emotion management (self-regulation), and mental health (social anxiety, and depression). We describe this group as Nuance-Challenged Social Communicators (NCSC). Nuance-based social learners tend to have subtle but significant differences and/or challenges and are the most likely to be bullied by peers and adults.

Zooming In on Strategies for those with Subtle yet Significant Social Differences and/or Challenges

Students, clients, and patients who struggle with self-regulation, social anxiety, and depression (Neurodivergent and neurotypcial) can be characterized as Nuance-Challenged Social Communicators. Individuals in this group may represent a range of diagnoses such as ADHD, Autism (levels 1 and 2), PDD-NOS, ODD, OCD, NVLD, social anxiety, perfectionism, twice exceptional—or may have diagnosis. This course is part two in a two-part series and will take a deeper look at how to use practical visual tools and supports to deepen social interpretation and produce more nuanced social responses that incorporate perspective taking, executive functioning, managing anxiety, etc. We will also explore teaching strategies to help social learners meet their own social goals as well as tips to motivate group or session participation.

Helping over one million educators, clinicians & families around the world

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 for understanding the social world. 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 promote well-being.


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 empower social learners with strategies for understanding that 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.

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.

Social Worker

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.
