No one thinks about it but, they automatically take part in social thinking every day. The feelings of other children and adults something they are able to consider. The social thinking therapists in Houston, TX are skilled in the practice of aiding these children and grown-ups who cannot improve their communicative skills because they do not learn it naturally from birth.
As one individual interacts with another, their emotions and intentions are communicated to us in unspoken ways. Usually communication senses are developed from birth and throughout a lifetime. Not all people are fortunate enough to develop these senses in a natural way. There is no correlation between the level of intelligence and the ability to communicate successfully.
Many can score high on IQ tests and have limited ability when it comes to learning the social nuances. Most commonly those with autism, ADHD and Aspergers syndrome experience this lack. Therapists work to develop their communicative skills and the processing of social impressions in children and adults.
Research into the topic supports the validity of teaching social thinking to people who score close to normal and significantly above normal on standardized IQ tests. Children who learn this perception naturally are referred to as neurotypical. One method of the training of those who are lacking is called ILAUGH. This acronym represents the many aspects of how knowledge is applied to the acquisition of social skills.
An infant starts to learn language and how to communicate from birth on. The toddler is already learning societal skills. If a child talks to others alot he becomes knowledgeable about the way others think.
At the age of four years the neurotypical child, the child who learns this awareness naturally, exhibits an understanding of what other children think. Two years after that, he knows that people can have bad characteristics. Manipulation of others will also become part of his repertoire.
Communal skills are needed if a person is planning to learn how to solve problems, perceive communicative intent of others and it also affects reading comprehension.

He requires more direct teaching methods. It is not easy for him to become aware that everyone thinks about the thoughts and feelings of others. He must learn to recognize that fact.
Even the skill of making eye contact as communication takes place requires special teaching methods for this child. Therapists study how the neurotypical child acquires this and other sociable skills. They then develop methods of helping the child with autism who is high-functioning or has Aspergers syndrome.
One such method is the ILAUGH Model of Social Thinking. It is used by professional therapists and by parents. For the therapist it gives them a way to discover the students strong points and focus on reinforcing them.
While most children do understand that societal skills and academic learning are inter-related. The child lacking in that understanding is able to speak about himself, but not other people. He will never learn to ask for help unless the therapist can teach him how to interact with others.
