Conversation Skills for Autism and Speech Therapy

Are you ready to try a different approach to practicing conversation skills? Do you love targeting multiple skills during one activity? Your students will love practicing this social skill while having a pretend conversation with a famous person! This engaging pragmatic language activity has everything you need to get your students talking!

Be sure to check out this free sample to help you decide if this resource is right for you!

This resource includes:

• Reading Passage: Students practice reading an expository text with a simple biography of a famous person's life. The reading passage can be used to teach your students about the person, practice reading skills, and introduce new vocabulary.
• Topic Worksheet: Your students will use the information they learned from the reading passage to think about topics that they would like to talk about with that person.
• Questions Worksheet: Your students will use the topics that they identified to think of questions they could ask during a conversation.
• Comments Worksheet: Your students will use the topics that they identified to think of comments they could make during a conversation with the famous person they chose.
• Ending the Conversation: Your students will brainstorm ways they could politely end a conversation with the famous person.

For additional practice, your students can take turns asking questions and pretending to answer them as if they were the famous person.
