Social Thinking Clinical ServicesThe Social Thinking Clinics, founded by Michelle Garcia Winner, are dedicated to developing and practicing innovative treatment approaches for assisting individuals with social-cognitive challenges, including students and adults with high-functioning autism, Asperger Syndrome, nonverbal learning disability and related diagnosed and undiagnosed social-communicative difficulties. 2012 Summer Program at Social Thinking Stevens Creek
More on the Social Thinking ClinicsThe Social Thinking Clinics are teaching clinics. As a result, the therapy groups may be observed by professionals selected from around the country and the world to study Social Thinking and at times participate in treatment sessions. Confidential information about your child will not be shared with them beyond what the professional who may be interning with us needs to know to plan an effective lesson. At all times when a professional works at our clinic they will be accompanied by the group's lead clinician and all planning will be implemented only after it is approved by the lead clinician. All clients applying for services from the Social Thinking Clinic must understand and agree to the training component at the clinic. The preference is given to the older child and our therapists also treat adults, as there are few services available for these individuals. If you are interested in applying for services, please read the About the Center page in the left menu and the documents below. Then, fill in and return the appropriate documents. For questions, please call 408-244-2005. Click the buttons below to learn more about these services
What’s happening with Social Thinking Clinical Services provided through TSSV?Michelle Garcia Winner's response: Twelve years ago I started providing private clinical services for people with social learning challenges in Silicon Valley. My original clinic, Michelle Garcia Winner’s Center for Social Thinking, grew in size and became a training ground for talented clinicians who delivered top notch services related to my core teachings. In 1999 these concepts were in their infancy and my therapy and travel load was manageable. As Social Thinking became internationally known, I became swallowed by an intense travel schedule, book publishing responsibilities and my own clients’ needs, and realized that something needed to change. In 2008, with the help of Pamela Crooke, we launched a non-profit dedicated to the core principles of Social Thinking - Teach Social Silicon Valley (TSSV). I donated much of my original clinic to TSSV and then helped to financially support this group as they established themselves.
Social Thinking Clinic Locations:Social Thinking Santana Row Social Thinking Stevens Creek The Social Thinking Clinics provide clinical services for school-age students and adults as well as training for professionals to learn treatment methods to use in their settings through internship and mentor programs. Social Thinking Santana Row and Social Thinking Stevens Creek are two sister clinics operating under one administrative services department. The mini-social thinking clinic (providing services to approximately 50 clients), is referred to as Social Thinking Santana Row (STSR) and the larger social thinking clinic, (which provides services to 250+ clients) is referred to as Social Thinking Stevens Creek (STSC). Each clinic runs as an independent for-profit business, so payments will be made directly to the specific clinic where the client attends. Our hope is that this blend will help minimize confusion about Social Thinking services in the Silicon Valley area. Families need only fill out one application for both clinics. The website and phone number are centralized. Parents or adult clients will sign paperwork for services at either clinic and parking is plentiful at both locations. If a client needs to change his/her clinical group, it will be easier to consider an opening at either clinic, etc. Contact UsSocial Thinking Santana Row Social Thinking Stevens Creek Phone: 408-244-2005 (Only use this phone number for calls about clinical services) Books and Other Social Thinking OfferingsBooks and other tools offer Social Thinking strategies and teaching methods for use at home and school -- and are a large part of the success of this treatment approach. This website will post new Social Thinking books, workshop and the latest thoughts on therapy through Michelle's blog. Please sign up for Michelle's newsletter to get our updates developments. |
