Contributor(s):Author: Kerry Mataya Med Author: Ruth Aspy Phd A Step-by-Step Conversation Framework for Teaching Conversational Balance and Fluency for High-Functioning Individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder 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, and at a Thanksgiving gathering.
Regardless of the setting, this critical skill - human conversation - is challenging for many individuals with high-functioning autism spectrum disorder (HF-ASD) - children and adults alike.
For these 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 assessing and teaching conversation skills in a group setting that is effective for most students who have difficulty engaging in conversations, including students with HF-ASD.
The Conversation Framework presented in Talk With Me breaks down the elements of a conversation which must be mastered in order to be proficient at carrying out conversations.
The framework was developed and refined over many years based on a review of the relevant research along with close observation of how people talk to each other - what conversations really sound like.
Many find it difficult to teach conversation skills, but the Conversation Framework provides a simple and easy-to-implement process for teaching effective conversational habits.
If you're looking for a comprehensive model with assessments, data collection, visual supports, drills, and prompt examples - this is your book.
