Talkabout for Children 2: Developing Social Skills

Alex Kelly's internationally renowned TALKABOUT books are a series of practical workbooks designed to develop the self-awareness, self-esteem, and social skills of people with special needs. The three TALKABOUT for CHILDREN books, now in their second edition, are specifically designed to provide a foundation of social skills through which children can grow and develop with confidence. Revised for US professionals, and with a new Foreword by Nancy Tarshis and Debbie Meringolo (Altogether Social LLC, New York), TALKABOUT for CHILDREN 2 focuses on social skills including body language, talking, and assertiveness.

Resources include:

• An assessment framework to help identify specific needs
• Over 60 structured activity sessions focusing on social skills, and the resources needed to deliver the sessions
• 25 group cohesion activities to help facilitate productive group sessions
• A three-term intervention plan

This book is an invaluable resource for therapists, teachers, child psychologists, and all professionals looking to develop the social skills of children aged 4 + or children with special needs.
