A curriculum for adolescents and adults with developmental disabilities

“Instructors need only to spend as little as 10 minutes twice weekly to teach these invaluable speaking skills. Participants role-play with the teacher, each other, and high profile peers in order to master simple phraseology.”

Young adults with mild and moderate disabilities are often passive observers in the workplace. They are reluctant to initiate greetings, offer comments or ask questions. Without proper training in social integration skills, they often feel lonely and may lose employment because of social isolation.

After years of observing workers with disabilities as loners, Dr. Marilyn Banks has developed a simple program that offers social integration solutions. Positive results reported by teachers, job coaches, parents and participants from across the United States and Canada validate that the program works.

Main features of Conversation Skills include:

• 12 week (twice-weekly) 10 minute training sessions
