and model effective strategies. Each intervention includes a summary of
the target age, module, purpose, rationale, materials needed, and
expected time for completion, as well as clear instructions and sample
dialogues and scripts. In a convenient large-size format, the book
features helpful graphics and 77 reproducible handouts and worksheets in
the form of Handy and Quick (HQ) Cards. Purchasers get access to a Web
