Honoring Award Winners from Social Thinking & Other Titles We Love Too

For more than 25 years, Social Thinking (Think Social Publishing) has been a go to source for educators, therapists and caregivers seeking common sense strategies, curricula, and tools. We believe that publishing materials should be driven by input from families and educators who are seeking ways to support their children or students to meet their self-determined social goals. Because of this, our books and games always have input from our clients and families, and are tested by schools and therapists before we publish them for the broader community.

We also know that teaching can be tough, whether in homes, clinics, or schools, so we work hard to give you tools that are motivating for both the instructor and learner. And in this quest, we have been fortunate enough to be recognized by many parent and instructional organizations over the years in the form of book awards. This page is dedicated to honoring the honorees, the award winners published by Think Social Publishing and others. These curricula and teaching tools have been piloted across Tiers of instruction with neurodivergent and neurotypical students, implemented in homes and schools, and we are proud to host them in our teaching and support award-winning library.
