Conversation is everywhere - at the lunch table, at after-school activities, in the line for the water fountain, at overnight camp during downtime, at work with a coworker, at a holiday gathering. It is challenging for many individuals with high-functioning autism spectrum disorder (HF-ASD), children and adults alike. For this reasons, it is essential to equip individuals with ASD with effective conversational skills.
The Conversation Framework is a unique strategy that provides an approach to effectively assessing and teaching conversation skills in a group setting. The overall goal is to provide concrete steps for teaching conversation that promote retention of skills and natural conversation in a wide range of settings with a variety of people. The framework was developed and refined over many years based on a review of relevant research and close observations of how people speak to each other.
Many teachers find it difficult to teach communication skills, but the Conversation Framework provides a simple and easy-to-implement process for teaching effective conversational habits. The rules presented in this book are specific enough to equip an individual with HF-ASD with the tools necessary to acquire conversation skills, yet simple enough to be used at any age. If you're looking for a comprehensive,.model with assessments, data collection, visual supports, drills, and prompt examples, this is your book !
