Have you worked with children or adolescents who have difficulty recognizing the thoughts, beliefs, knowledge and intentions of themselves and others? Because of these deficits, they struggle to make inferences about what others might do. What about the children who lack awareness of their own emotions, what triggers their emotions and struggle to regulate their emotions? Do you know the adolescent who lacks the ability to use facial, body, and vocal cues to recognize or infer the emotions of others and is unable to recognize the reason or cause of these emotions? These deficits in Theory of Mind (ToM) are at the heart of social communication difficulties exhibited by those with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and social communication disorders (SCD), and many other conditions that affect communication skills.
Join theory of mind expert, Carol Westby, PhD, CCC-SLP, and discover the developmental stages of ToM from precursors in infancy through higher-level thinking in adolescents. You will learn how to identify the patterns of and severity of ToM deficits to effectively match intervention strategies to the child’s specific needs. Through video examples, children’s books and movies and pictures you will learn to design and implement strategies to develop the social-emotional underpinnings of ToM.
