"An inspirational resource for both the young person and therapist, this draws on a whole range of tried and tested approaches ... an invaluable toolkit to assess and develop skills in 8 to 16 year olds. User-friendly for therapists and non-therapists alike, this is a welcome resource for working with the individual, but is equally adaptable for groups ... It even succeeded with students other resources have failed to reach! Exceptional value for money."
