Zooming In on Strategies for those with Subtle yet Significant Social Differences and/or Challenges
In this two-part series we focus on individual social learners across the lifespan who are both Neurodivergent and Neurotypcial who show subtle yet significant differences and/or challenges with social learning competencies. We will explore sophisticated ideas that foster the development of perspective taking, executive functioning, and social-emotional self-management. More specifically we will examine different aspects of emotional awareness of self and others, flexible thinking, social problem solving, self-advocacy and treatment* ideas to foster self-regulation, effective communication, and a sense of well-being.
*Treatment refers to using conceptual and strategy-based frameworks to help individuals improve their social competencies.

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 to improve social competencies—more than just social skills.
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 aid them in becoming increasingly successful in the social world throughout their lives.
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 motivate social learners to "do the work" and explore how 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.
