Flexible thinking, social skills

Flexible Thinking

Recently I went to a Social Thinking conference. I loved it. It gave me so many tools on how to talk to parents about social skills goals and how to reach kids.

To start making that learning accessible to my students I made flexible thinking booklets for them, reminding them of the strategies that we are learning how to use in my social groups.



They have been a hit with my students and with the teachers that I work with who also need assistance at times in talking to their class about flexible thinking. 

Strategies include:
Taking a break
Reminding yourself that you can do it
Ask a question
Ask for help
Think about the group plan
Stop and think
Tell yourself that this is a small problem

I hope that they are as helpful to you as they have been to me.
