The foundation of our work provides interventionists (teachers, speech-language pathologists, therapists, clinicians, parents) and social learners with frameworks, tools, skills, and a shared language for understanding the social world. Our goal is to help people learn explicitly how to engage in social information processing: how to attend, interpret, problem solve, and respond in any situation—the thinking and doing skills that will promote well-being.

At some point we all struggle in social situations. Engaging in a social emotional thinking/feeling-based process can be difficult at times for everyone in the social world. Our role as interventionists is to help empower social learners with strategies for understanding that we all share social expectations, thoughts, feelings, make mistakes, and try again as we learn to navigate our way toward our social goals. The practical nature of our teaching and the concrete way we explain social concepts helps engage people in social learning not only about themselves but about others.

Counselor

Just wow! I'm so amazed by the depth and breadth of insights and strategies. I wish I could absorb them all at once! This methodology is priceless for my work with students who struggle. Thank you so much!

Gen. Ed. Teacher & Mom

I was already able to utilize yesterday’s lessons with my son in helping him take dynamic organization and make it static in which I was previously too general assuming he understood what to do during mini breaks from online school rather than instantly get on more technology. I could literally see his confidence boost today during his breaks. Thank-you!

Social Worker

In regards to how much I learned, there was some content that I'm already familiar with; however, there was new information that will be helpful that I will use when servicing my students. This was a good 2-days webinar filled with information and resources. Thank you!

Gen. Ed Teacher

This livestream was very beneficial; thank-you! I realize what works for one child differs from student to student, but the strategies given at the end of the livestream were very helpful. I’m hoping there will be many more tomorrow.

Social Worker

I’ve always struggled with where to begin when working to support my disorganized students. Although I’ve done some things right, I’ve learned how to approach other things differently.
