It has been particularly aimed at adults with an intellectual disability (learning disability) or older children with special needs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt has been adapted from \u003cem\u003eTalkabout for Children: Developing Self-awareness and Self-esteem\u003c\/em\u003e to be suitable for an older audience. This means that some of the activities are almost identical but a number of them have been adapted to be more appropriate. There are also some new activities such as the 'A book about me.' which enables the adults to make up a book over the course of the sessions that will summarise some keys personal facts. This can work well as an addition to a communication passport or equivalent, or can stand alone as an alternative.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eTalkabout for Adults\u003c\/em\u003e is a stand-alone resource with approximately a year's worth of activities to develop self-awareness and self-esteem.

This also means that this resource is designed to be used logically from topic 1 through to topic 8. Most of the activities are more suited to working in a group setting but some of them can be adapted for one-to-one work.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Routledge","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46930847891607,"sku":"9780863889936","price":4189.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780863889936.webp?v=1771609430","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/talkabout-for-adults-9780863889936","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
