✦ Synopsis

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.

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.
