Social Thinking and Me Set (Book 1 and 2)

Social Thinking and Me is a powerhouse of social information for students in upper elementary and middle school. Lessons are structured to build knowledge about socially complex situations for building stronger social problem solving strategies. Whether thinking about hidden expectations in social situations, developing a deeper understanding of one’s emotions and the influence on others, or learning to figure out the size of the problem and reaction, this award-winning two-book set breaks larger and more complicated social concepts down into smaller chunks to make it easier for adults to teach and kids to learn. It gives teachers, administrators, students, and parents a common language to discuss social strengths and challenges more easily – and therefore is a natural fit for the classroom (mainstream and special needs), clinic, and home environment!

This is a curriculum to be used by all stakeholders on the child’s team to ensure that everyone is on the same page with the concepts taught and learning is carried over into all environments.
