Implementing Social Thinking Concepts and Vocabulary into our
School and Home Day: A Day to Develop Team Creativity
Michelle Garcia Winner, M.A., CCC-SLP, Think Social Publishing,
Inc., San Jose, CA
Day Institute Description:
This workshop allows parents and educators to learn more about
teaching social thinking and related skills to students. We will
explore how social thinking concepts develop the infrastructure
for students to meet the educational standards, demonstrating how
key these concepts are to reading comprehension, written
expression, etc.
We will define many social thinking concepts and how to apply the
"social thinking vocabulary" across the school and home day.
Conference participants work in teams to develop new creative
social thinking lessons to fit their teaching environment. The
focus of the day will be on making the teaching realizable across
a variety of environments with the focus on helping students to
carry the concepts out of the treatment room and into their real
lives. The social thinking lessons will be taught in the order
they are being introduced in Michelle's new book, "A Social
Thinking Curriculum for School Aged Students" due out in November,
2005.Furthermore, we will explore how to work as part of an
educational team. How do we share the workload when helping these
kids?
Learning Outcomes:
(1) Describe how teaching social thinking and related skills can
be done in the classroom during academic and social (2) Define 5
different social thinking vocabulary concepts (3) Describe how
social thinking vocabulary concepts facilitate generalization
across settings (4) Create a lesson plan to teach students they
are part of a group
