On Demand Training Series: Dynamic Assessment

Assessing Social Competencies Using Social Thinking® Informal Dynamic Tasks

This two-part series focuses on practical strategies to explore ways in which we can assess social competencies, also known as “soft skills,” that are foundational to building an array of social relationships, problem solving, and teamwork. The content covered within these two courses is an expanded version of what has been presented previously in our live face-to-face conference on implementing the Social Thinking® Informal Dynamic Assessment (ST–IDA) tasks to explore a range of social competencies often lagging in development in persons with social emotional learning challenges across a range of diagnoses (e.g., autism spectrum levels 1 & 2, social communication disorder, ADHD, twice exceptional, those born to toxic stressors, language learning disorders, head injuries, etc.). This fascinating series uses client/student/patient videos to guide learning about assessment tasks and how different individuals may respond. This information is helpful to all interventionists working and living with individuals with social emotional learning challenges because it shows how to get inside their minds to better understand their learning strengths and challenges. Most of the information covered in this two-part series is described in Michelle Garcia Winner's seminal book, Thinking About YOU Thinking About ME, 2nd Edition.

Teaching Social Competencies—More Than Social Skills

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 for understanding the social world. 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 promote well-being.


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 empower social learners with strategies for understanding that 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.

Counselor

Just wow! I'm so amazed by the depth and breadth of insights and strategies. I wish I could absorb them all at once! This methodology is priceless for my work with students who struggle. Thank you so much!

Gen. Ed. Teacher & Mom

I was already able to utilize yesterday’s lessons with my son in helping him take dynamic organization and make it static in which I was previously too general assuming he understood what to do during mini breaks from online school rather than instantly get on more technology. I could literally see his confidence boost today during his breaks. Thank-you!

Social Worker

In regards to how much I learned, there was some content that I'm already familiar with; however, there was new information that will be helpful that I will use when servicing my students. This was a good 2-days webinar filled with information and resources. Thank you!

Gen. Ed Teacher

This livestream was very beneficial; thank-you! I realize what works for one child differs from student to student, but the strategies given at the end of the livestream were very helpful. I’m hoping there will be many more tomorrow.

Social Worker

I’ve always struggled with where to begin when working to support my disorganized students. Although I’ve done some things right, I’ve learned how to approach other things differently.
