Abstract

Flexible thinking has to do with being able to engage in a variety of thoughts or experiences while acknowledging that many different paths could get us to our desired destination. Stuck thinking can happen when we only consider our own singular point of view or insist on our own routine. It can also be the result of limited perspective taking and over focusing on details. A student who is unable to perceive the bigger picture may struggle to read other people's nonverbal intentions or understand what they mean by what they say.

Abstract

It?s hard for teens to be happy when they?ve created a very narrow window of what defines success. The goal of this helpful book is to encourage teens to maintain their desire to achieve without striving to always be perfect and to appreciate and love who they are just as they are, not for what they do or accomplish. Finding a balance between work and play is key. Challenging perfectionism is about the pursuit of happiness.

When teens can recognize that perfectionism is a disadvantage, they can become motivated to do something about it. For many, it may just be shifting the perfectionism a bit to land in a more positive place. It might be about deciding when and where to be slightly perfectionistic, when and where they can let go of high standards and all-or-nothing thinking, and when it?s okay to simply do a ?good enough? job on something.

Social Behaviour (includes boundaries)

Abstract

What's happening around us influences our thoughts, feelings, and responses. Social Situation Mapping (formerly Social Behavior Mapping), a core teaching framework within the Social Thinking Methodology, uses visual templates to encourage learners to engage social observation for figuring out what to do and say (or not do and say) based on a particular situation: where we are, who is present, and what is happening. The maps also outline a fundamental teaching framework we call the Social Emotional Chain Reaction, which shows how we all impact one another when sharing space. The maps are meant to be taught from the perspective of the student or client to provide options for what to do or say in common situations. We encourage educators, therapists, and parents to jointly generate unique maps alongside the student or client based on their individual goals.

Revised, retitled, and updated with our most current teaching, Social Situation Mapping includes:

- 80+ completed Social Situation Maps (SSMs) to explore 40+ practical everyday situations that happen at school, home, and in the community.

- Maps with blank spaces for students to add their own ideas and observations.

- Maps with options to honor neurodivergent choices or strategies. Some options are also inclusive of learning differences and/or disabilities.

- One blank map template that can be photocopied and used again and again. The completed maps within this book can also be used as guideposts as learners generate their own maps and figure out a path through the lens of their social goals or desires.

- A description of the Social Emotional Chain Reaction (SECR), the foundational concept taught in Social Situation Mapping.

- The 10-Step Visual Fidelity and Teaching Guide.
