FND Manasota Annual Conference
Thinking About YOU, Thinking About ME
September 17, 2016, 8:30 - 3:45
Woodland Community Church
is an intensive one-day conference featuring the work of The Social Thinking Methodology created by Michelle Garcia Winner, a Congressional-award-winning speech-language pathologist. The Social Thinking Methodology teaches individuals how to think about the social world in order to communicate more effectively. The practical frameworks and strategies help people learn to interpret and respond to abstract social information and produce related social skills for use in the classroom, home and community.
Please contact Mary Smith if your business or organization is interested in being a conference sponsor.
New classes starting August 15th!
