Social Thinking @ ABLE Clinic

Social thinking is a form of intelligence that is key to learning concepts and integrating information across a variety of settings, academic, social, home and community. Limited abilities for learning and-or applying socially relevant information can be considered a social thinking learning disability. Michelle Garcia Winner coined the term as a treatment program for students to assist them with their social learning. Individuals with autism spectrum disorders (particularly high-functioning autism and Asperger Syndrome) ADHD, nonverbal learning disorder and similar challenges have benefited greatly from this treatment approach over ten years.
