Navigating Across School, Home, and Screen Landscapes using the ILAUGH Model

Discover how the ability to think socially forms the bedrock not only for social interactions, but also for learning to write, comprehend, use narrative language, and learn in classrooms or online. In this two-part series, we explore a variety of practical strategies using the ILAUGH Model of Social Cognition as a guide. Each component of the ILAUGH Model is grounded in evidence that connects how the social world works to how one navigates academic and social expectations. These include: Initiating communication, Listening with the eyes and brain, Abstracting and inferencing, Understanding perspective, Getting the big picture (gestalt), and Humor and Human relatedness.

Part 2: Thinking Socially Through the Lens of Abstract Thinking, Understanding Perspectives, Gestalt Thinking, and Humor

Series Name: Navigating Across School, Home, and Screen Landscapes using the ILAUGH Model

In this second part of a two-part series, we explore four critical parts of the ILAUGH Model of Social Cognition (Thinking) as a way to deconstruct and make sense of the relationship between the social and academic world. The social brain forms the foundation for how children, students, and clients interact, learn to write, comprehend others’ perspectives, use narrative language, participate in groups, and learn in classrooms or online. This course examines how abstract thinking, perspective-taking, executive functioning, and self-regulation impact written expression, reading comprehension and working in groups. Learn practical strategies to teach social competencies.

Teaching Social Competencies—More Than Social Skills

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.
