Social Behaviour Mapping
Michelle Garcia Winner
One of the most successful tools used at Michelle G. Winner's Center for Social Thinking is the Social Behavior Map (SBM).
Michelle developed the SBM as a cognitive behavior strategy to teach individuals about the specific relationship between behaviors, other’s perspective, other’s actions (consequences), and the student’s own emotions about those around him or her. The SBM is a visual tool that displays these abstract concepts through a flow chart. Now, Michelle and her team of talented therapists have created a collection of over 50 Social Behavior Maps covering a range of topics for home, community and the classroom. Social Behavior Mapping – Connecting Behavior, Emotions and Consequences Across the Day is geared for use by parents and professionals to help those with social thinking challenges understand what behaviors are expected and unexpected in a way that makes sense to their way of thinking.
