This may be due to difficulties with language, attention, and memory.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cp\u003eStorying Beyond Social Difficulties with Neuro-Diverse Adolescents is a manual that outlines an eight-session programme, called \"Imagine, Create, Belong\", that involves a range of activities designed to develop theory of mind, flexible thinking, empathy, and narrative ability. The sessions can be run across 8 or 16 weeks and contain sections suitable for those in mainstream schools, with adaptations to support adolescents with additional needs (including moderate intellectual disability and Complex Communication Needs). The manual does this via a range of age-appropriate play-based activities within a group setting focused on making a movie. It includes non-verbal and verbal approaches to social development and is an implicit approach to social skills. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe programme is suitable for young people aged 11 years to 15 years with social difficulties. It includes content that may suit adolescents from both individualist and collectivist cultures. The manual provides step-by-step guidance for practitioners to run the \"Imagine, Create, Belong\" social skills programme with participants with a range of intellectual abilities who have been identified by parents, teachers, or other professionals as having social difficulties. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sophie Goldingay, Karen Stagnitti, Belinda Dean\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/12\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 170\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.69h x 6.85w x 0.37d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780367237042\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSophie Goldingay\u003c\/strong\u003e is a senior lecturer and Associate Head of School, Teaching and Learning, in the School of Health and Social Development, Deakin University, Geelong, Australia.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKaren Stagnitti\u003c\/strong\u003e is Emeritus Professor in the School of Health and Social Development, Deakin University, Geelong, Australia. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBelinda Dean\u003c\/strong\u003e is a lecturer in Nursing at Deakin University, Geelong, Australia, and holds a Master's degree in Child Play Therapy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNarelle Robertson\u003c\/strong\u003e is a researcher at the Centre for Project Evaluation at Melbourne University, Australia. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDonna Davidson\u003c\/strong\u003e is an occupational therapist and play therapist. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEleanor Francis\u003c\/strong\u003e is a speech pathologist who has worked with children and adults in a variety of settings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Routledge","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43190233530483,"sku":"9.78037E+12","price":59.36,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/files\/img_c2d2dd2b-050f-4af3-bfe8-6d58e1e82d06.jpg?v=1752320270","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/products\/storying-beyond-social-difficulties-with-neuro-diverse-adolescents-the-imagine-create-belong-social-development-programme-9780367237042","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
