There is no better indicator of the relevance of Social Thinking^® than its embrace in countries around the world.

Michelle Garcia Winner, the founder of Social Thinking, now travels the globe working with groups that are creating approaches for their communities - and we are expanding our translated offerings to meet these needs. On the left menu, you will see our current translations of Michelle's writings.

Please note: for the translated articles on our website, dedicated individuals have volunteered to translate the works. We apologize in advance if you do not agree with how text is translated, but we wanted to get this information available easily to those who might benefit from it!

Social Thinking therapy methods have become part of the curriculum for students in Hong Kong.
