Social Thinking has helped over 2.5 million educators,
clinicians, and families around the world for more than
25 years
Social, emotional, and academic learning is a lifelong journey. At some point, we all struggle in social
situations, and engaging in a social problem-solving and feeling-based process can be dificult at times for
everyone in the social world—at home, at school, at work, and within the community. But, understanding
and considering our own and others’ thoughts and feelings is essential for understanding most academic
subjects. And when we work in groups (which we will throughout our lives), we need to be able to
collaborate efectively with others, which requires taking and getting diferent perspectives, sharing ideas,
and resolving conflicts. This is social thinking (thinking socially), and this critical learning is expected to
develop and evolve throughout our lives as we work toward our own and collective goals.
That’s why the Social Thinking® Methodology ofers a diverse array of research-informed resources, training,
curricula, practical strategies, and visual tools for neurodivergent and neurotypical social learners with solid
to strong expressive and receptive language skills and all developmental ages, from 4–80.

solving to improve: conversation & social connection, executive functioning, friendship & relationship
