*This resource was previously published as Talkabout DVD and includes the same video scenarios*

This is a valuable resource for anyone using the 'Talkabout' series, bringing social skills to life! The video library contains acted scenarios for each skill being taught, modelling both poor and good behaviour, and includes videos taken in a number of settings and with a range of different ages. The videos are essential for situations where there is only one group facilitator and therefore difficulty in modelling different skills and behaviours. The resource includes an instruction booklet on how to access the video library and use the video in conjunction with 'Talkabout', and is a must-have for anyone using the 'Talkabout' books, teaching social skills, or working with people with Autistic Spectrum Disorders, learning disabilities or social communication disorders.

Reviews

"A dream to use and will breathe new life into social skills groups, particularly where having only one facilitator restricts role playing. I strongly recommend it for work with autistic spectrum conditions, learning disabilities, or emotional and behavioural difficulties." - Speech and Language Therapy in Practice
