- The Superflex Curriculum is a social-emotional learning program for children (ages 5-10+) that teaches social skills, self-regulation, and flexible thinking using superhero-themed characters (UnthinkaBots and Thinkables) to help kids understand and navigate social situations, identify social expectations, and solve problems. It uses engaging activities, storybooks, and visual supports to make abstract social concepts concrete, teaching kids to recognize “Unthinkables” (social challenges) and use “Thinkables” (strategies) to become “Superflex” thinkers.
