SOCIAL INFERENCING MADE SIMPLE
We make social inferences every day. We use facial expressions, body language, surroundings and context to work out how someone might be feeling, what they could be thinking or what may have happened.
For some children, teenagers and adults, noticing these clues and putting them together can be challenging.
Inference Pics Lite provides a simple, structured way for Speech and Language Therapists, teachers, parents and carers to work on social understanding, expressive language and reasoning skills in speech therapy, education or at home.

LOOK. THINK. EXPLAIN.
Each inference picture in Inference Pics has two inference prompts/questions. The first question varies depending on the chosen inference activity. For example, in the Conversations activity the user is asked "What are they saying? while in the Seasons activity the inference prompt is "What time of year is it?
The second question in each inference activity is always “How can you tell?”. This allows the user to practise verbal expression and giving explanations. It also prompts the child or adult to explain what clues they found to enable them to make an inference.
