Socially Speaking will help you to introduce and practise skills your pupils need to develop and maintain relationships and to lead independent lives outside the school context.
It is a unique social skills programme that lasts a whole school year and is divided into three units: let’s communicate, let’s be friends, and let’s practise.
As pupils progress through the carefully structured programme, their self-esteem will increase and their listening skills and expressive language abilities will improve, and in turn everyone will benefit from enhanced social interaction.
