Students who ignore or misinterpret other people’s nonverbal signals are unlikely to send appropriate nonverbal
signals to others. Many of these students can learn to detect and understand nonverbal language signals, given
specific training. The Nonverbal Language Kit provides repeated exposure to these signals, explains what they
mean, and provides intensive practice to help students master them.
