Superflex

Superflex is a social thinking curriculum created by speech language pathologist Michelle Garcia Winner and Stephanie Madrigal to help elementary aged children develop flexible thinking and self regulation skills. The program uses a comic style storybook about a superhero named Superflex who battles “Unthinkables,” characters that represent common social challenges like getting stuck on one idea or interrupting. A structured curriculum guide provides lesson plans, visuals, and activities that teach kids to notice their own behaviors and choose more helpful strategies. Families and therapists use Superflex with children who struggle with social communication, including many on the autism spectrum, as a playful way to practice perspective taking and problem solving.
