Practical Strategies to Encourage Social Thinking 2nd Ed This edition provides students with reminders of strategies printed on labels and carried with them in a small booklet. Once a student has learned a strategy for overcoming behaviors that may be causing problems, the instructor sticks the strategy sticker in a flip notebook. Carrying the flip book throughout the day, students can easily and discreetly refer to the strategies already learned to solve problems. This results in fewer behavioral breakdowns or classroom disruptions, and teaches self-reliance and problem-solving anytime. Originally developed for use with students with social cognitive learning challenges (the higher end of the autism spectrum, ADHD, NLD, etc.), these strategies can easily be applied to any child who needs that strong visual reminder.
