Talkabout for Children 1

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 1 focuses on self-identity and self-awareness.

• A three-unit intervention plan

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