Superflex

Superflex^© and the Social Thinking Curriculum

 

Here at Jefferson, we use the Social Thinking Curriculum, as well as other tools to teach children about social pragmatics.    Superflex is the hero who shows us how to solve problems using our flexible brain power.  He works to defeat the unthinkable characters that invade our brains.  Below is Superflex and some of the many villains.
