Product Information

After a year of social skills interventions, using pre and post assessments, she noticed a pattern in who was responding and who wasn't, centred around the hierarchy of self-awareness coming before non-verbal skills and non-verbal coming before verbal and assertiveness coming last. Alex developed an intervention based on this hierarchy that was published after extensive testing and piloting. A complete groupwork resource offering a hierarchical approach for teaching social and relationship skills to teenagers Talkabout for Adults is written for adults with an intellectual disability (learning disability) or older children with special needs.
