It is essential for situations where there is only one group facilitator and therefore difficulty in modelling poor and good behaviour. This DVD-resource 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.
