Social Thinking Books


Even after they have learned to talk, children ages 3-7 with Asperger syndrome, mild autism or social difficulties face special communication challenges. To have real “talkability”, children have to understand the meaning behind the words by tuning in to the thoughts and feelings of other people.--amazon.com



Many students can read, or appear to read, but don't really get what they're reading. Comprehension is a complicated and important skill, and one that can be taught. Cris Tovani is a teacher and reading specialist who takes teachers (and parents) into her classroom and offers practical strategies for real reading comprehension.--amazon.com



This hugely popular photocopiable manual provides professionals with a framework for the development of social skills. Initially piloted on adolescents with mild learning difficulties, it can be used with a variety of client groups, both children and adults.--amazon.com



This unique hands-on activity helps students who are highly anxious cope with their stress by systematizing social and emotional information. Using this self-contained product, the student literally sorts cards describing highly stressful situations into colorful pockets designating stress levels, ranging from 5-1, as a first step in changing the way he or she thinks about and responds to emotions such as anxiety, sadness and anger--amazon.com



3-8 year olds (from preschoolers to early elementary school).A teaching tool to use directly with kids. 

Thotso is a thick board book that has many interactive parts. The student can flip things up, pull things down, etc., to explore what thoughts are hiding under pictures. All this makes it very engaging in a hands-on activity.--amazon.com




An outstanding resource of VISUAL ORGANIZERS that helps children better recognize the predictable patterns within classroom language experiences.--amazon.com





Visuals of all kinds are used as supports for individuals on the autism spectrum who tend to think and learn visually. However, not all visuals are created equal! This new and important book explores "The Language of Pictures," showing how to match visual tools with the developmental level of the child or adult you are working with. A great way to learn the science behind the art!--amazon.com




Talking directly to students about depression, this workbook encourages students to reframe their recent experiences or memories. Each chapter starts with a “you need to know” section and then encourages specific exploration into topics, including the power of perspective, the gift of the moment, believing in yourself, the use of social skills, even food to help your mood.







Facts, friendly suggestions and funny illustrations combine in this book about puberty and how hygiene can affect how students think about themselves--and how others think about them!--amazon.com
