Social Thinking Conference in Long Beach, CA

Jan 28-30, 2015

As many of you know, I’ve been using Michelle Garcia Winner’s Social Thinking Curriculum for a while. I am so excited that I finally have the opportunity to attend a Social Thinking Conference. It promises to be three days packed with information about working with children and adults with social communication deficits! The courses for the conference include:

  • Informal, Dynamic Social Thinking Assessment and Core Treatment Strategies for Home and School. (Presented by Michelle Garcia Winner and Nancy Clements)
  • Implementing Social Thinking Concepts and Vocabulary into the School and Home Day. (Presented by Nancy Clements)
  • What’s Play Got to Do with Classroom Learning? Exploring Social Executive Functioning and Social Emotional Learning for 4-7 year olds. (Presented by Nancy Tarshis)

If you are able, I would highly recommend that you attend this conference. It happens about once or twice a year in the L.A. area. It isn’t meant solely for professionals like speech language pathologists and teachers, but also for parents and caregivers of children on the Autism Spectrum and children with social and communicative challenges. There is a special rate for non-professional attendees.
