SUMMER BOOK STUDY: Why Teach Social Thinking?
Blended Session




Join us for our Summer Book Study, as we read “Why Teach Social Thinking?” by speech-language pathologist, Michelle Garcia Winner!
 
About the Book:
“Today's children (both neurotypical and those with social emotional learning challenges) are entering school with declining abilities to learn in a group, attend to a lesson, be considerate toward others, or self-regulate their own behavior. Teachers are increasingly finding themselves ill-equipped with the know-how, tools, and strategies to teach students about social awareness, emotional intelligence, and self-regulation of behavior.
 
If you've ever wanted, or needed, to make a case for social instruction to be added to a student's treatment plan, social goals written into a student's IEP, or social thinking lessons infused into a classroom or campus curriculum plan, Why Teach Social Thinking? drives home the importance of social emotional learning to a student's academic success and later success in life.”  
 
 
About the Author:
Michelle Garcia Winner, MA, CCC-SLP, is a speech-language pathologist who coined the term "social thinking" as well as the related treatment strategies. She runs a private practice  in San Jose, California, works with clients, specifically devoted to the needs of students with social cognitive deficits.  Additionally, Michelle consults, develops training materials, and travels internationally presenting workshops.  She has previously worked in medically based neuro-rehabilitation, in public schools and for the Indiana Resource Center for Autism.
