Social Thinking Workshops 2023

We are thrilled to welcome back to Singapore Michelle Garcia Winner, founder of Social Thinking, and co-developer Dr. Pamela Crooke. They will share their updated, latest developments and thinking around assessment and treatment planning. How do we know where to start with the students we work with? And how do we map out directions? This 2-day workshop is not just filled with frameworks and concepts, but lots of video examples demonstrating how to, as well as some practical strategies and tools in therapy. Listen to them live in-person and mix and mingle with like-minded individuals.

DAY 1 – Using the Social Thinking® Dynamic Assessment to Guide Teaching Strategies
Most of us can walk, skip, and run, but few of us can explain how we do this. It’s the same when it comes to our social selves. In this course, we will demonstrate and explain practical assessment ideas, tools, and tasks to explore some of the many foundational competencies which help us to form and maintain relationships with classmates or friends. We’ll show how to implement and analyze findings from four informal assessment tasks found in the Social Thinking Dynamic Assessment. We’ll include video footage of actual dynamic assessments to reveal how individuals process and respond to social information in real time.

DAY 2 - Individualizing Social Emotional Learning and Treatment Decision Making
We will present evidence-based frameworks explaining how the social world works before expecting self-regulation. This decision-making template can be used by professionals and parents who work hands-on with students to individualize social emotional supports. Using the template, we will explore how to layer and combine teaching tools within a Social Thinking-based teaching model. We will discuss how and why choices were made, what was taught to the social learner, and how the sessions evolved based on the input and responses of students. We will explore individualized case journeys.
