It also includes 2 hours of Michelle in working with clients (young and older children) in Social Thinking sessions to improve their social skills.

Growing Up Social

DVD: Growing Up Social is a 2 hour DVD to explore the complex process of intuitive social learning expected in early childhood (birth through 4 years old) to prepare children to sit and learn in the classroom. Social Thinking treatment paradigms such as the 4 Steps of Communication and the 4 Steps of Perspective taking are introduced to help adults explore how to scaffold and systematize their social teachings for our students who did not naturally learn this information as preschoolers.

DVD: Strategies for Organization: Preparing for Homework and the Real World is a DVD and workbook combination that focuses on strategies for organizing a student's work, schedule and brain, as well as enhancing time-management.

The movie integrates many social thinking concepts into the story as it teaches children about sharing, "thinking with your eyes", reading other peoples' facial expressions, body language, playing with others, and calming one's body down.
