Students may engage through spoken language, gestures, AAC, writing, or other preferred communication methods. Eye contact is not required for successful participation.\n\nSession Objectives\n\nStudents will:\n\nParticipate in reciprocal conversations by taking turns appropriately.\nMaintain a shared conversational topic across multiple exchanges.\nUse strategies to repair conversations when the topic shifts unexpectedly.\nMaterials\nVisual conversation supports (described below)\nTopic cards\nWhiteboard or paper\nTokens, check marks, or stickers (optional)\n1. Warm-Up: \"Conversation Chain\" (5 minutes)\nProcedure\n\nStudents sit in a circle.\n\nThe first student shares a brief response to a prompt such as:\n\nWhat's something you've enjoyed this week?\nWhat's a favorite game, hobby, or activity?\nWhat's something you're looking forward to?\n\nThe next student:\n\nComments on what was shared.\nAsks a related question.\n\nThe third student responds and adds a related idea.\n\nVisual Support\n\nDisplay a visual titled \"Conversation Recipe\":\n\nListen\nComment\nAsk\nShare\n\nExample:\n\n\"I watched a soccer game.\"\n\"That sounds fun. Who was playing?\"\n\"My cousin plays soccer too.\"\nSLP Support\n\nPrompt as needed:\n\n\"Whose turn is next?\"\n\"Can you add something connected to what was just said?\"\n\"What question could help keep the conversation going?\"\n2. Structured Activity: \"Stay on Topic Challenge\" (15 minutes)\nVisual Support (Described in Words)\n\nCreate a visual called \"Topic Tracker Road.\"\n\nDraw:\n\nA large circle labeled Current Topic\nThree connected boxes labeled:\nRelated Question\nRelated Comment\nRelated Experience\nAn arrow connecting each box to show the conversation moving forward\n\nOff to one side, draw a separate cloud labeled:\n\nDifferent Topic\n\nExplain: \"When our comments connect to the shared topic, we stay on the road together. Sometimes our brains make connections that lead somewhere else. If that happens, we can notice it and decide whether to return to the shared topic or intentionally start a new one.\"\n\nActivity Directions\n\nEach student selects a topic card.\n\nSample topics:\n\nFavorite school subjects\nSchool clubs\nVideo games\nWeekend activities\nSports\nMusic\nFavorite movies\nPets\n\nStudents work together to keep the topic going for 6-8 conversational turns.\n\nWhen someone contributes:\n\nGroup decides whether the comment stayed connected to the shared topic.\nIf the topic shifts, students practice conversation repair.\nConversation Repair Scripts\n\nTeach simple options:\n\n\"How does that connect to our topic?\"\n\"Can we bring it back to ___?\"\n\"That reminds me of something related...\"\n\"Should we start a new topic or stay with this one?\"\n3. Role-Play Scenarios (8 minutes)\nScenario 1: Planning Lunch With Friends\n\nStudents are discussing where to sit and what they hope is on the lunch menu.\n\nTargets\n\nTaking turns\nAsking follow-up questions\nBuilding on others' comments\n\nPossible Extensions\n\nSomeone introduces an unrelated topic and peers practice bringing the conversation back.\nScenario 2: Working on a Science Project\n\nStudents need to divide responsibilities for a group assignment.\n\nTargets\n\nStaying focused on a shared goal\nResponding to classmates' ideas\nEncouraging balanced participation\n\nPractice Language\n\n\"What do you think?\"\n\"Building on your idea...\"\n\"Who wants the next turn?\"\nScenario 3: Waiting Before Class Starts\n\nStudents are chatting about weekend plans before the teacher arrives.\n\nTargets\n\nMaintaining a topic for multiple exchanges\nAsking relevant questions\nSharing related experiences\n\nChallenge Maintain one topic for at least five connected conversational turns.\n\nSLP Prompting and Cue Fading\nLevel 1: Direct Support\n\nSLP provides explicit instruction and models.\n\nExamples:\n\n\"Ask a question about what Sam just shared.\"\n\"Let's think of a related comment.\"\nLevel 2: Verbal Cue\n\nSLP provides a brief reminder.\n\nExamples:\n\n\"What's our topic?\"\n\"How could you connect that idea?\"\nLevel 3: Visual Cue\n\nSLP points to the Topic Tracker visual or conversation steps without speaking.\n\nLevel 4: Gestural Cue\n\nSLP uses a simple gesture such as pointing to the current speaker or the visual support.\n\nLevel 5: Independent Use\n\nStudents monitor turn-taking and topic maintenance with minimal adult support.\n\nFading Plan\n\nThroughout the session:\n\nModel\nVerbal prompts\nVisual prompts\nGestures only\nIndependent performance\n\nThe SLP gradually increases wait time and encourages peer-supported problem solving before providing additional cues.\n\nWrap-Up Reflection (2 minutes)\n\nStudents reflect using a quick rating scale:\n\n✅ = Usually\n ➖ = Sometimes\n ⭕ = Still practicing\n\nQuestions:\n\nI took turns during conversations.\nI helped keep the topic going.\nI asked a question or made a related comment.\nI noticed when the topic changed.\n\nOptional discussion:\n\n\"What strategy helped you today?\"\n\"What would you like to practice next time?\"\nSimple Data Sheet\n\nDate: ____________\n Group Members: __________________________\n\nStudent\tActivity\tOpportunities\tAppropriate Turn-Taking\tStayed on Topic\tPrompt LevelStudent A\tWarm-Up\t___\t___\t___\tI / G / V / VP / M\nStudent A\tStructured Activity\t___\t___\t___\tI / G / V / VP / M\nStudent A\tRole-Play\t___\t___\t___\tI / G / V / VP / M\nStudent B\tWarm-Up\t___\t___\t___\tI / G / V / VP / M\nStudent B\tStructured Activity\t___\t___\t___\tI / G / V / VP / M\nStudent B\tRole-Play\t___\t___\t___\tI / G / V / VP / M\nStudent C\tWarm-Up\t___\t___\t___\tI / G / V / VP / M\nStudent C\tStructured Activity\t___\t___\t___\tI / G / V / VP / M\nStudent C\tRole-Play\t___\t___\t___\tI / G / V / VP / M\n\nPrompt Key\n\nI = Independent\nG = Gesture\nV = Visual cue\nVP = Verbal prompt\nM = Model\n\nNotes:\n\nThis session emphasizes collaborative communication, self-awareness, and flexible conversational problem-solving while honoring different communication styles and ways of demonstrating engagement.\n", "bytes": 6041, "plan_note": "Personal account, Auto mode"}
