Strategies to Build Social Competencies
With the Social Thinking Methodology, you gain evidence-based strategies to help people age 4 through adult improve their social competencies, including:
◉ Self-regulation
◉ Social-emotional learning
◉ Executive functioning
◉ Perspective taking
◉ Social problem solving

Our teachings help people understand themselves and others to better navigate the social world, foster relationships, and improve their performance at school, at home, and at work. Our unique tools break down complex social concepts (like perspective taking) into understandable and doable parts that can be applied in any setting. For over 25 years, our experts have been a guiding resource for schools, clinics, and families around the world, and our teachings continually evolve based on the latest research and clinical insights. Whether you're helping individuals with ADHD, autism spectrum levels 1 or 2, social communication disorders, or an entire class of typically developing students—our strategies can help you help them. The Social Thinking Methodology addresses the questions: How does the social world work, and how can we help our students better navigate to regulate within it? Our methodology fosters the development of social competencies so foundational that our work applies across cultures, ages, races, religions, mental health diagnoses, etc., and has been adopted within communities around the world. We stand committed to providing quality, practical information that is rooted in research, built upon real-world experiences, and is responsive to the needs of the people for whom it is designed to help. We are constantly learning and gaining inspiration from our clients and others we meet, so our work is ever evolving yet remains grounded in its adherence to rigorous standards of quality.
