The Reformulated Social Information Processing Model (Crick & Dodge, 1994) helps us to understand the sequence of processing steps involved in social cognitive processing. Children with social difficulties often present with associated social information processing deficits that can be addressed with targeted intervention.

Social Stencil tools are designed to build a young persons skills in each of those target areas, in sequence.

Every Social Stencil tool is paired with a beautifully illustrated colour poster to help turn abstract concepts into concrete models, quick reference tools and a shared language. Hang yours on the wall and download unlimited color-me-in posters from your portal to share with young clients.

Your clients can also purchase their own poster and pocket card pack to keep.

We place critical value on what is being taught to young people (to hold a strong evidence-base) and equally, how it is being taught. Every Social Stencil tool is presented to you with step-by-step instructions to provide a guide about how we introduce the concept, with experiment-based, art-based or drama-based activities for each tool.

This tool kit has been developed and trialled in classrooms and in clinics for over 12 years. Qualitative and quantitative data has been examined each year, including an empirical study of this program that earned Dr. Connie Buckingham a PhD with the University of Melbourne. We continue to collect data and report on a range of Social Stencil projects each year, fundamental part of our approach.
