Michelle's Social Thinking Workshops
Michelle Garcia Winner also hosts and presents broader Social Thinking workshops. The workshops Michelle presents herself are open to all open and offer early and group discounts.
Social Thinking Books
We are continually publishing new titles on the Social Thinking treatment approach. For many professionals, these books provide their first introduction to as well as their ongoing reference for teaching Social Thinking. Core curriculum books such as Thinking About YOU Thinking About ME and Think Social! provide a basis for working with and innovating upon Social Thinking concepts for individual students and settings.
Social Thinking Online Video Trainings
Michelle has produced four online video trainings -- 9 1/2 hours of content! While not as intensive as her workshops, they offer a great way to learn core concepts, "anytime, anywhere" in a relaxed setting.
Private-Access Professionals Social Thinking Forum
More than a year in the making, we have launched a private-access online forum for professionals who have trained with Michelle's clinics that will allow them, wherever they are in the world, to discuss treatments, trouble-shoot, brainstorm and ask questions about teaching social thinking. This forum is open only to professionals who have received training from Social Thinking and have received an invitation.
The Growing Social Thinking Community
We are striving to meet the demand for services for the growing number of professionals working with social thinking methodologies. As this community of dedicated individuals around the country (and world) expands, we are working to find ways to:
- Offer more thorough training in methods to teach this information across a variety of settings
- Encourage the sharing of information - from the grassroots and traditional channels and new technology offerings
- Provide to a wider public information about the professionals in their communities who have been instructed in social thinking
Thanks for your interest... and thanks to all of your who are learning social thinking concepts and putting them into action in your communities! Please sign up for our Social Thinking newsletter to be among the first to know when we have new information on our programs for professionals.
