Social Thinking

If you have a child with difficulties in Social Skills, we can help!

Social thinking is a term for social cognition. Social Thinking is what we do when we share space with others- when sending an email, sitting in a classroom, lining up at the grocery store, reading a work of fiction, watching a funny video clip, participating in a business meeting, driving in traffic, and most of other daily activities that involve our social interpretation and related reactions.

Social thinking develops naturally and becomes intuitive for most of us. This may not hold true for all. Some of our extremely bright young children struggle as they face the nuanced demands of social interactions.

Therefore, for all those struggling to read a room full of people, MUST learn how to think socially.

Through the concepts and curriculum of social thinking, developed by Michelle Garcia Winner, S.L.P, we teach children:
  • To be mindful in social situations
  • Take perspective of others
  • How to hold conversations with peers
  • How to make friends and sustain friendships
  • How to problem solve social situations
  • How to deconstruct social rules of an environment
  • To do flexible thinking
  • How to resolve conflicts with peers

We give strategies to children so that they can practice the skills in another environment and eventually generalize the concepts to any environment

Social Thinking strategies teach individuals:
  • How their own social minds work – why they and others react and respond the way they do
  • How their behaviours affect those around them
  • How behaviours are affecting their own emotions, responses to and relationships with others across different social contexts.

This helps them participate in a social setting, in an expected manner, with confidence.
