Thanks Ann - these look very interesting!

I heard you saw Pat at Good Shepard on Sunday - pretty amazing that Pat is
still going. He really seems to like it there!

I hope things are ok with you.

Take Care
Linda

> NEW BOOKS filled with lessons!:
> by Article Author
> Just Released in August: Worksheets! for Teaching Social Thinking and
> Related Skills
>
> This specially spiral bound workbook, which allows its
> user to still read the title of the book on the spine of
> the book, provides over 250 social thinking lessons
> that have been developed and used at Michelle
> Winner's Center for Social Thinking over the past 6
> years. These lessons are divided into chapters
> based on different aspects of intervention, including
> lessons on developing a deeper sense of perspective
> taking, skills for interpreting language meaning and
> lessons for acquiring behavior self-management. This
> book is a must have for those who are infusing social
> thinking into lessons across the school and home
> day. $44.00
>
> To be released in November: A Social
> Thinking Curriculum for School Aged Students:
> This curriculum breaks lessons into 8
> chapters and demonstrates how lessons evolve and
> build on each other across the months and years.
> Lessons in this curriculum start with the very basic
> (which many students, even those in middle and high
> school still need) and expand towards the abstract
> across the chapters and from lesson to lesson.
>
> A social thinking vocabulary is defined across the
> curriculum with the intention of carrying these
> concepts out of the therapy room or special
> education room and into the student's entire school
> and home day. This curriculum encourages student
> self-monitoring with the use of video feedback as
> well as instructional sheets to share with educators
> and parents to help them learn the vocabulary along
> side their student. The lessons in this curriculum will
> span years of development, from Kindergarten
> through High School. This curriculum can be used in
> conjunction with the new Worksheets! book (which
> provides a whole different set of lessons) to allow
> the parents and educators more leeway to decide
> what related lessons need to be taught at different
> points in the curriculum. Price: still to be
> determined.

> NEW WORKSHOP:
> by Article Author
> Workshop Description: Implementing Social Thinking Concepts and Vocabulary
> into our School and Home Day: A Day to Develop Team Creativity
>
> This brand new workshop allows parents and
> educators to learn more about teaching social
> thinking and related skills to students. We will
> explore how social thinking concepts develop the
> infrastructure for students to meet the educational
> standards, demonstrating how key these concepts
> are to reading comprehension, written expression,
> etc.
>
> We will define many social thinking concepts and how
> to apply the "social thinking vocabulary" across the
> school and home day. Conference participants work
> in teams to develop new creative social thinking
> lessons to fit their teaching environment. The focus
> of the day will be on making the teaching realizable
> across a variety of environments with the focus on
> helping students to carry the concepts out of the
> treatment room and into their real lives. The social
> thinking lessons will be taught in the order they are
> being introduced in Michelle's new book, "A Social
> Thinking Curriculum for School Aged Students" due
> out in November, 2005.
>
> Furthermore, we will explore how to work as part of
> an educational team. How do we share the workload
> when helping these kids?
>
> Objectives:
>
> 1. The participants will be able to explain how
> social thinking concepts can be weak even in
> students who are not diagnosed with autism
> spectrum disorders.
> 2. The participants will be able to explain how
> social thinking skills impact a student's ability to work
> towards the educational standards.
> 3. The participants will be able to describe
> how teaching social thinking and related skills can be
> done in the classroom during academic and social
> tasks.
> 4. The participants will create 6 different
> lesson plans to take into their educational
> environment.
> 5. The participants will be able to define the
> different roles of the treatment team, encouraging
> team members to work together while sharing the
> educational load.
> 6. The participants will be able to describe
> four social thinking concepts that would help all
> students in the school, and not just those diagnosed
> with a social learning disability.

> ABOUT MICHELLE G. WINNER:
>
>
>
> For the last 6 years of her 21 year career, Michelle
> has owned a private practice in San Jose, CA called
> Michelle G. Winner's Center for Social Thinking where
> the needs of persons with social cognitive deficits
> are the focus. Michelle and her team of therapists
> continue to pioneer functional treatment and
> assessment strategies to better understand this
> abstract form of a learning disability that typically
> impacts those on the autism spectrum, with non-
> verbal learning disabilities and or ADHD. Her clinic
> serves persons from preschool to retirement.
> In recognition that there is a huge range of
> functioning within persons with the above labels,
> Michelle focuses most specifically on those with near-
> normal to way above normal verbal intelligence. Her
> work helps students, parents and professionals to
> understand how a social deficit can also impact
> achievement within the classroom environment.
> Michelle strongly encourages schools and families to
> work collaboratively together.
> In addition to giving workshops internationally,
> Michelle continues to work with clients, do
> assessments, consult with families and schools and
> create materials for use by parents and teaches.
> Her three books and treatment video are highly
> regarded in the field. In May of 2002, her work was
> acknowledged in TIME magazine.
