Our social thinking philosophy is a combination of many years of practice and study of the "Theory of Mind" (Simon Baron-Cohen) challenges that hinder our student's social development.  Our ProSocial Thinking curriculum employs work by Michelle Garcia Winner, Tony Attwood, and Stanley Greenspan; cognitive behavior therapy; and our own creative juices derived from 46 years of combined experience.
