Social Inferences – Double Deck

Help students uncover the “why” behind everyday social interactions with the Social Inferences – Double Deck. This practical and engaging resource supports learners to interpret social cues, facial expressions, and contextual information using real-life photographs and guided inferential questions. It builds essential critical thinking skills needed to understand the unspoken elements of social situations.

Make the invisible visible.

Each card features a real-life photograph followed by four thoughtfully designed questions to encourage discussion and support logical reasoning. Students are guided to explore what is happening, how people may be feeling, and what social expectations are involved. This makes abstract social concepts more concrete, particularly for learners who benefit from explicit teaching and visual supports.

Targets key pragmatic language skills:

• Interpreting facial expressions and body language

• Making inferences based on social context

• Identifying clues that support logical conclusions

• Understanding expected behaviours in everyday situations

Ideal for:

• Pragmatic language therapy

• Autism support and social skills groups

• Small-group or individual Speech Pathology sessions

• Classroom language lessons or counselling sessions

Designed for interactive learning:

Lay out nine cards face down, roll the double dice, and answer the question that matches the rolled shape and number.
