The presenters have modified parts of her core content and strategies to address some of the issues we are all dealing with during this global pandemic. Humor, as always, has been embedded throughout the course, and it is possible for us to have a special few minutes with some of the children in your home who may be coming in and watching parts of the on-demand presentation with you!

Self-Regulation and Hope
Michelle Garcia Winner, MA, CCC-SLP and founder of the Social Thinking Methodology®

With the pandemic as the backdrop, this keynote will explore core lessons learned and refined over 25 years of clinical practice. We will be highlighting the power of metacognitive awareness, the difference between helplessness and hope, and defining key practical strategies to help guide our students/clients to better manage their emotions and lives–learnings that have perhaps never been more important than now.

Social Thinking® 101
Dr. Pamela Crooke, PhD, CCC-SLP

Whether you’re relatively new to the Social Thinking Methodology or are a seasoned practitioner, it’s always a good idea to get a quick refresher about core concepts and vocabulary from time to time. This 90-minute session will provide attendees with an overview of key Social Thinking Vocabulary, the ILAUGH Model of Social Cognition (including basic strategies associated with each area), and the importance of going “back to basics” for some learners.

Who Should Attend

The Social Thinking Methodology is used by a wide variety of professionals; including speech-language pathologists, special and general education teachers, social workers, counselors, clinical and school psychologists, occupational therapists, behavior specialists, and school administrators to name a few. It’s also used by family members and caregivers across settings.
