I use My Community and School Rules! Vol. 2 during my therapy sessions and absolutely love them as do my students. To see the appropriate and inappropriate behaviors is a priceless tool for my students with high functioning autism and asp. syndrome.

I have been researching for years for ways to enhance my children’s communication skills and education levels. Other parents have been searching and we have found that the schools lack in the area of teaching social skills. I have been doing personal research and came across your program in my psychology class. I was very pleased that you offer a demo and the testimonies that I read were reassuring. My children have been benefited greatly from the programs. Your company has been a blessing to us and I have passed on the information about your website to others. Please let me know of any other updates and software. Thank you!

Michelle G. Winner of Social Thinking and Social Skill Builder founders Laurie and Jennifer Jacobs are developing a computer program based on joint research and knowledge! Social Skill Builder’s use of the video modeling method will be paired with the vocabulary and process of Social Thinking’s You are a Social Detective book. This new product will allow elementary age students to:

• Become part of a group
  
• Build and strengthen their ability to socially think through situations 
  
• Find clues to identify expected and unexpected behaviors to understand the social intentions of others
  
• Build social smarts by using their social thinking tools
  
• Appreciate the feelings of others  
  
• Understand how their thoughts, feelings and actions toward others have consequences
  
• Motivate them to go beyond the standard “scripting” of what to say in social situations
  
• Apply these concepts into their own social environment

Look for updates in upcoming issues of Interaction! ♦
