Item Description

 

Help St. Elizabeth School Implement its SOCIAL THINKING Program with these WISH LIST REGISTRY Items!

Through the SES Bull & Oyster Roast's online auction, SES donors can “buy” items for the school, just like you might for a wedding or baby registry!  Items, such as the one described below, help students during therapy sessions, in the classroom, and beyond. This year, our Wish List Registry is filled with curriculum 
notebooks, books, posters, and other items needed to help SES adopt a SOCIAL THINKING program school-wide.  Social Thinking is an expansion of PBIS (Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports) and teaches students how their behavior directly impacts those around them. In other words, it teaches them to think beyond themselves and gives them a deeper understanding of those around them.

Visual Thinking Strategies For Individuals With Autism Spectrum Disorders

by Ellyn Lucas Arwood, Ed.D.; Carole Kaulitz, M.Ed.; and Mabel Brown, M.A. 

Photographs, checklists, line drawings, cartoons, flowcharts, stick figures and more are used as supports for individuals on the autism spectrum who tend to think and learn visually. However, not all visuals are created equal and, therefore, visuals don't all work equally well. This companion to Learning With a Visual Brain in an Auditory World helps the reader understand how to match the developmental levels of pictures and visuals to the developmental level of the person looking at the visual. In this way, appropriate visuals provide the language development for children with autism spectrum disorders. Drawing from their experience with children and youth for decades, the authors also show how effective communication can help reduce the confusion and anxiety that often lead to behavioral outbursts.
