Twinmom Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 Does anyone have experience using Winner's "Social Thinking" curriculum and/or books to help a child with prosodic deficits? If so, how did you like it? What worked best and how did you use it? TIA! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twinmom Posted February 23, 2011 Author Share Posted February 23, 2011 Another related question: Anyone purchase her DVDs? Are they worth the money? If you aren't familiar with this material, it was written for Aspies and others who have deficits in social skills, many due to prosodic deficits related to APD or otherwise. Looks really good to me...I've ordered the parent/professional book but haven't used the materials yet. Seen a bit of Marcia Winner's online training videos on Youtube and they look right on target. If the book is good enough, I may buy the curriculum and training DVDs for my DD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lulubelle Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 We did get the Superflex workbook. My son is incredibly inflexible! The workbook only showed how very inflexible he is. It did not help him. He is 8. Maybe if he was in a group of kids who were similiar to him, but isolating him did not work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twinmom Posted February 23, 2011 Author Share Posted February 23, 2011 Just talked to our speech therapist about the curriculum and she says she loves it! For kids like DD, who have a deficit in understanding the intent behind communication and who thus communicate awkwardly in return, she thinks it is awesome. Don't know what parts we are going to try first, but I'll post back someday and see if it works out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
