The books are written with different client groups in mind so that you don’t have to adapt the activities too much to suit your situation. 

Primary Schools… You need the TALKABOUT for Children series – 3 books to work through self-awareness and self-esteem; social skills; and friendship skills. 

Secondary mainstream Schools… You need the TALKABOUT for Teenagers book – a book aimed at mainstream students that works through self-awareness and self-esteem, social skills, friendship skills and assertiveness. 

Special schools…  You will probably need the TALKABOUT for Children series – 3 books to work through self-awareness and self-esteem; social skills; and friendship skills. However, if some of your older students would prefer a more mainstream approach, then you may also need to look at the TALKABOUT for teenagers book. 

Adults with intellectual disabilities… You need the original TALKABOUT book (which is actually being rewritten at the moment so I would wait until next year to buy it) and the TALKABOUT ACTIVITIES book and the TALKABOUT RELATIONSHIPS book. 

Adults with high functioning ASD… You could use the TALKABOUT for teenagers books or the original TALKABOUT book (which is actually being rewritten at the moment so I would wait until next year to buy it) and the TALKABOUT ACTIVITIES book and the TALKABOUT RELATIONSHIPS book.
