We Thinkers! Volume 1 Social Explorers Deluxe Package (Chinese Translation)

“We Thinkers! Volume 1 provides the missing curriculum we have all been searching for to teach Social Thinking concepts to children in preschool and early elementary school. This curriculum is effective for all children and is especially beneficial to children with high-functioning autism. Our early childhood special education program had the privilege of working with co-author Kari Palmer to pilot lessons from We Thinkers! Volume 1 in our inclusion program. We saw phenomenal results! The curriculum is easy to use, has a clear scope and sequence for teaching essential Social Thinking concepts for school success, and has practical ideas for families to use at home. I cannot recommend this book highly enough!”

“We were working on book 1: Thinking Thoughts and Feeling Feelings. While we were getting ready to go to P.E. the students were loud and not properly lined up to be able to leave the class. Jack, a diagnosed autistic child, realized that I was expecting them to be quiet and line up. He turned to his classmates that were misbehaving and said, "Hey Oliver, look at me, look at my face. What do you see?" (He looked at him with a frown on his face). "You see on my face that I am not happy because Miss Kelly is waiting for us to be quiet so we can leave. So please be quiet now!" This made my teacher heart sing of joy, because one of my students had transferred the knowledge learned into a social interaction with his peers. I want to thank you for all the great discoveries I made so far thanks to your website.Your articles and the books purchased have greatly improved the social skills of my students this year.”

“My son has been learning various Social Thinking Vocabulary and concepts from therapists over the past 4.5 years, but these concepts were scattered and he didn’t really ‘connect the dots’ until he learned how they all come together in the ‘group plan.’ These basic yet important building blocks are covered comprehensively and taught methodically in this curriculum. Highly recommended for anyone who is interested in learning Social Thinking.”

“We Thinkers! Volume 1 series has brought excitement to the process of learning Social Thinking in our preschool-aged children. The easy-to-use stories and engaging large and small group activities have been a wonderful learning opportunity for my teaching team and eager students. The stories took each child on adventures from the heights of space to deep shark-infested caves. I would suggest this series for any teacher helping children grow in social thinking skills and concepts!”

“As an early childhood special education teacher, I have found We Thinkers! Volume 1 curriculum to offer a clear map on how to introduce various Social Thinking concepts in a fun and engaging way. It includes a variety of invaluable tools that help with planning instructional activities. The storybooks and lessons have enabled me to provide a strong foundation for social–emotional development in all children in our classroom as it not only benefits children with social-emotional delays but also community peers. Our students are using vocabulary from the curriculum and are doing so in appropriate ways that exhibit a true understanding of the Social Thinking concepts across settings and social contexts. To follow are a few quotes from our students: Teacher Courtney, did I change your thoughts? (Following a short discussion about a behavior problem during learning centers.) I’m going to think with my eyes to choose a friend. (During show and tell; his peers then waited for him to look at them before asking their question.) Please stop. That makes me have unexpected thoughts! (During a conflict with a peer during playtime.) Stop talking and put your brain back in the group. (During circle time when a peer was not attending.)”
