Due to the high demand for Social Thinking conferences in the Boston area, we have decided to host the same conference days TWICE!

October 17 - 18 OR October 28 - 29
ZOOMING IN on TWO NEW Social Thinking® Conferences which focus on Lessons and Strategies to Help in the Classroom and Beyond! 

These two new workshop days are designed to compliment each other and will both take a deeper look at how to understand and design strategy-based Social Thinking lessons for our more concrete and literal learners versus those with more nuance based issues. We will zoom in and focus our attention on how to use checklists, activities, and other strategies to develop specific lessons that can be applied in more complex social environments like classrooms, playgrounds and the community for elementary through high school age students. Lessons will be framed within the context of select Common Core Standards (CCSs) with an emphasis on how to utilize the lessons with different team members (teachers, specialists, paraprofessionals, peers, and parents). We will also share ideas for collecting different types of data to document individual students’ learning related to Social Thinking strategies
