Free Stuff for Young Adults & Adults
The Social Thinking Methodology first developed from our work with high schoolers. It’s now the premier, go-to source for understanding the social world through an evidence-based lens, which encourages the ongoing development of teaching concepts, strategies, and tools for working with and supporting young adults and adults as they learn about themselves and others, as well as how to navigate meeting their own goals in the ever-changing landscapes within the social world.
Throughout our 25+ years of research, practice, and teaching, we’ve focused on the needs of young and mature adults and have found that when these social learners are presented with relevant and explicit concepts, tools, and practical strategies to make sense of evolving expectations within the social world, they can continue to learn to improve their social emotional problem solving. They’re able to gradually gain social competencies that help them, step by step, achieve their own social goals as they learn to navigate the complexities of the adult social emotional world.
The Social Thinking Methodology provides evidence-based strategies to help people of all ages develop their social competencies, flexible thinking & social problem solving and improve: conversation & social connection, executive functioning, friendship & relationship development, perspective taking, self-regulation, and Social Thinking vocabulary.

The social world and its expectations, responsibilities & consequences evolve and increase in complexity as we age. Social emotional learning doesn’t stop when we reach adulthood! Our Thinksheets (worksheets that make you think!) are tools to break down, think through, and practice specific social concepts and strategies to support adults of all ages as they work toward improving their social emotional problem solving and other social competencies.
