Description
Students sometimes become stuck in negative, rigid, or inaccurate thinking patterns during social situations. These “mind traps” can impact problem solving, emotional regulation, confidence, and relationships with others. This resource helps students learn to identify unhelpful thoughts and practice replacing them with more flexible, realistic, and helpful ways of thinking. Students are presented with a social situation and a thought a student might have in that moment. They must decide: ✔️ Is this a helpful thought? ✔️ YES or NO ✔️ If not, what could be a more helpful thought instead? Through repeated practice, students begin building awareness of how thoughts affect emotions, behavior, and social interactions. Use this deck to teach and then practice this skill! Three teaching cards followed by 10 self-correcting cards. Deck Accessibility Features: Audio: Read-aloud option on every slide for students who benefit from auditory support. Motor: Compatible with switch, tap, or click access Perfect for small-group instruction, independent practice, distance learning, or teletherapy 💻.
