SuperFlex Social Thinking CurriculumSupplemental ProgramStudents are introduced to the hero, SuperFlex, and learn that they can be their own super hero by defeating the villains, the Unthinkables. The Unthinkables are cartoon characters that invade a person's thinking; therefore, they make it difficult for someone to think clearly. Each Unthinkable is labeled with a fun title, which children can identify with in association with common behaviors that lead to social difficulties.
