A complete group work resource offering a hierarchical approach to teaching social and relationship skills to teenagers. Designed specifically for teenagers, this practical workbook provides ready-made material for running social and relationship skills groups with older children and young adults. Divided into five, hierarchical modules - self awareness and self esteem; body language; conversational skills; friendship skills; assertiveness skills - each module includes a teaching plan with worksheets and photocopiable resources. It includes a short assessment to highlight the module that is most appropriate to teach and the skills within that module that are relevant. It provides a short guide to running successful social skills groups, for example, the numbers for each group, group rules, developing group cohesion, how to set up a role play. The Talkabout series is an extremely successful, hierarchical approach to teaching social skills and Talkabout for Teenagers is ideal for all professionals working with teenagers with social, emotional or behavioural difficulties. The US Edition. Children on the autism spectrum like predictability, rules and routine. When something is changed in an autistic child's environment it upsets them emotionally. Before the upset child can move on they must intellectually understand how that difference fits into their world view. This takes time and patience from their caregivers and the professionals that work with them. The British-English terms, phrasing and spelling in Talkabout for Teenagers are "different", and thus distract autistic students from the exercise of the lessons; to the point that these student are often unable to use portions of the book. The US edition has been fully revised for the local market: spelling has been adjusted to American-English; phrases have been reworded to meet common US norms; and, UK terminology has been replaced by US.
