For over 25 years, our experts have been a guiding resource for schools, clinics, and families around the world, and our teachings continually evolve based on the latest research and clinical insights. Whether you're helping individuals with ADHD, autism spectrum levels 1 or 2, social communication disorders, or an entire class of typically developing students—our strategies can help you help them. The Social Thinking Methodology addresses the questions: How does the social world work, and how can we help our students better navigate to regulate within it? Our methodology fosters the development of social competencies so foundational that our work applies across cultures, ages, races, religions, mental health diagnoses, etc., and has been adopted within communities around the world. We stand committed to providing quality, practical information that is rooted in research, built upon real-world experiences, and is responsive to the needs of the people for whom it is designed to help. We are constantly learning and gaining inspiration from our clients and others we meet, so our work is ever evolving yet remains grounded in its adherence to rigorous standards of quality.

💭 Checking in on ourselves is just part of being human. Reflecting on how we’re feeling, what we’re thinking, and what we need is oftentimes the fuel that ignites our decisions about what we do or say (or choose not to) to meet our own goals for the situation. The holiday season is a perfect time to pause and do just that. It can also encourage us to think about our choices, advocate for ourselves, or make a little more time to refuel.
