The SEIMC has a variety of Social Thinking resources for teachers to review and utilize with students. Michelle Garcia-Winner has developed materials that focus on Social Thinking. What is the concept of Social Thinking all about? According to the Socialthinking.com website, social thinking is what we do when we interact with others and how we think about them. This affects how we behave, which in turn affects how others respond to us, which affects our own emotions. Whether we are with friends, sending an email, or in a classroom we take in the thoughts, emotions and intentions of the people we are interacting with. This is considered very much a part of who we are, but for many individuals, this process is anything but natural. These challenges are commonly experienced by individuals with autism spectrum disorders (high- functioning), social communication disorders, Asperger's, ADHD, and similar diagnoses. Social Thinking strategies teach individuals: How their own social minds work - why they and others react and respond the way they do. How their behavior affect the way others perceive and respond to them. How this affects their own emotions, responses to and relationships with others across different social contexts. The SEIMC has many social thinking resources by Michelle Garcia -Winner available for checkout: Siren Somerset Spring Valley Turtle Lake Unity Webster sociallythinking.com
