Talkabout Programme

The Talkabout Programme for Social Skills Development

The Talkabout Programme is a widely respected, evidence-based resource for developing social communication and life skills in children and young people. Used extensively in schools, therapy settings, and SEN support programmes, Talkabout provides a structured, step-by-step approach to building the social skills children need to thrive.

What Makes Talkabout So Effective

• Evidence-based and structured – Developed by Alex Kelly, the Talkabout series follows a clear hierarchy of social skills, from body language and self-awareness through to friendship and assertiveness.
• Suitable for a wide range of needs – Talkabout resources are used with children and young people with autism, ADHD, social communication difficulties, and low self-esteem.
• Ready-to-use activities – Each book and resource pack is packed with photocopiable worksheets, games, and activities that are easy to deliver with minimal preparation.
• Supports group and individual work – Resources are flexible enough to use in small group sessions, one-to-one support, or whole-class SPHE lessons.
