classroom experience in regular and special
education. The information on the posters is helpful
for ALL students! The four posters include:

1. The BORING Moments

group to explore that coping with boredom is part of
any group context. The poster reviews expected and
unexpected behaviors. $12.00

the 4 steps of
perspective taking are a mandatory part of working
together as a group; the poster encourages a
classroom discussion! $12.00

3. Social Behavior Maps for Working as
a Student
in the Classroom: Social behavior
mapping is a
cognitive behavioral technique to help students learn
how their behavior impacts other's emotions and
ultimately how people treat them. This technique is
described extensively in Michelle's book, Thinking
About You Thinking About Me $12.00

4. Social Behavior Map Dry Erase
Template: This poster is a
Dry Erase surface template of a social behavior map
to allow educators to use and reuse with students to
define the social behavioral interactions with other
people in specific environments. $15.00 for dry

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.

Strategies for Organization: Preparing for Homework in The Real World

This approximately 3.5 hour DVD hits upon the key

clear ideas on how to help teach towards improved
organizational skills. The Gray Center once again
has produced this video. Price: likely about
$69.00 for 3.5 hours of practical information.

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.
