Session Overview (Time\u2011Stamped)\n\n| Time | Activity | Purpose |\n|------|----------|---------|\n| 0\u20115\u202fmin | **Welcome & Warm\u2011up** | Build a relaxed, predictable start; activate listening & attention. |\n| 5\u201112\u202fmin | **Explicit Teaching + Visual Model** | Introduce the \u201cTurn\u2011Taking & Topic\u2011Check\u201d routine with visual cues. |\n| 12\u201122\u202fmin | **Guided Role\u2011Play (3 short scenarios)** | Practice the routine in low\u2011stakes, peer\u2011supported contexts. |\n| 22\u201128\u202fmin | **Independent \u201cConversation Carousel\u201d** | Students rotate through mini\u2011conversations, applying the routine with fading prompts. |\n| 28\u201130\u202fmin | **Wrap\u2011Up & Quick Reflection** | Reinforce successes, set a personal goal for the next week. |\n\n---\n\n## 2. Warm\u2011Up (5\u202fmin) \u2013 \u201cSound\u2011Check Circle\u201d\n\n1. **Goal:** Get everyone comfortable, reinforce listening, and model taking turns without pressure.  \n2. **Procedure:**  \n   * The SLP holds a **soft \u201ctalking stick\u201d** (e.g., a small plush toy).  \n   * One student at a time says **one sentence** about a fun weekend activity (e.g., \u201cI went to the park\u201d).  \n   * The rest of the group **listens**; no interruptions.  \n   * After each turn, the speaker passes the stick clockwise.  \n3. **Neuro\u2011diversity note:** The stick is optional; any visual cue (a colored card, a gentle tap on the table) works for students who find a physical object distracting.  \n\n*Prompting:*  \n- **Model** the first turn (SLP says a sentence, then passes).  \n- **Verbal cue**: \u201cRemember, we wait until the stick is in your hand before you speak.\u201d  \n\n*Fade:* After the first round, the SLP steps back and only reminds the group if a student forgets to wait.\n\n---\n\n## 3. Structured Activity with Visual Supports (7\u202fmin) \u2013 \u201cTurn\u2011Taking & Topic\u2011Check Board\u201d\n\n### Visual Support Description (what the SLP will set up)\n\n| Visual | What it looks like | How it\u2019s used |\n|--------|-------------------|---------------|\n| **1\ufe0f\u20e3 Turn\u2011Taking Tracker** | A horizontal row of three **color\u2011coded circles** (Red\u2011Student\u202fA, Blue\u2011Student\u202fB, Green\u2011Student\u202fC). Each circle has a **check\u2011mark** that appears when that student has spoken. | After a student finishes a turn, the SLP places a check\u2011mark in that student\u2019s circle. The next student sees the empty circle and knows it\u2019s their turn. |\n| **2\ufe0f\u20e3 Topic\u2011Stay Cue Card** | A laminated card with three simple icons: <br>\ud83d\udde3\ufe0f \u201cStart\u201d \u2003\ud83d\udd04 \u201cAdd\u201d \u2003\u2705 \u201cWrap\u2011up\u201d | *Start* = open the conversation (e.g., \u201cDid you see the new video game?\u201d). <br>*Add* = add a related idea (e.g., \u201cI liked the graphics because\u2026\u201d). <br>*Wrap\u2011up* = signal the end of the current topic (\u201cThat\u2019s why I think\u2026 What do you think?\u201d). |\n| **3\ufe0f\u20e3 Timer (30\u2011sec sand timer)** | Small hourglass placed in the center of the table. | Gives a visual cue for how long a turn can be (\u224830\u202fsec). When the sand runs out, the next student gets the floor. |\n\n### Mini\u2011Lesson (2\u2011min)\n\n1. **Explain the routine** using the board:  \n   *\u201cFirst, we look at the Turn\u2011Taking Tracker to see who\u2019s next. Then we use the Topic\u2011Stay Cue Card to keep our talk on the same idea. When the sand runs out, we pass the turn.\u201d*  \n2. **Model** a 30\u2011second turn with the SLP (use the cue card, place a check\u2011mark, let the sand run).  \n3. **Invite a quick practice**: Student\u202fA says a sentence, SLP checks the tracker, timer runs, then prompts Student\u202fB to \u201cAdd\u201d using the cue card.\n\n*Prompting hierarchy:*  \n- **Full modeling** (SLP does it).  \n- **Partial prompting** (SLP points to the correct cue on the card).  \n- **Verbal reminder** (\u201cRemember to add something related\u201d).  \n- **Independent** (student uses the board without help).\n\n*Fade:* By the end of the role\u2011plays, the SLP only offers a **visual glance** at the board if a student hesitates.\n\n---\n\n## 4. Role\u2011Play Scenarios (3\u202f\u00d7\u202f5\u202fmin = 15\u202fmin)\n\nEach scenario follows the same **Turn\u2011Taking & Topic\u2011Stay** routine. The SLP reads the scenario prompt, then the three students rotate through the roles (Speaker\u202f1 \u2192 Speaker\u202f2 \u2192 Speaker\u202f3). After each round, the SLP gives brief, strengths\u2011based feedback (e.g., \u201cYou kept the topic on video games for the whole turn\u2014great!\u201d).\n\n| # | Scenario (Middle\u2011School Friendly) | Key Topic Words (on cue card) | Prompting Tips |\n|---|-----------------------------------|------------------------------|----------------|\n| **1** | **\u201cPlanning a Group Project\u201d** \u2013 The class needs to decide on a science fair topic. <br>Speaker\u202f1 suggests an idea, Speaker\u202f2 adds a reason, Speaker\u202f3 wraps up with a question. | *project, experiment, materials, deadline* | Use \u201cAdd\u201d cue to encourage elaboration (\u201cWhat would we need?\u201d). |\n| **2** | **\u201cAfter\u2011School Club Talk\u201d** \u2013 Students discuss which club to join (e.g., robotics, drama, art). <br>Speaker\u202f1 shares a favorite club, Speaker\u202f2 compares, Speaker\u202f3 asks for a suggestion. | *club, meeting, practice, fun* | Prompt \u201cStart\u201d if a student stalls (\u201cWhat club are you thinking about?\u201d). |\n| **3** | **\u201cWeekend Plans\u201d** \u2013 Planning a Saturday outing together. <br>Speaker\u202f1 proposes a location, Speaker\u202f2 adds an activity, Speaker\u202f3 checks if everyone agrees. | *park, movies, pizza, time* | Use \u201cWrap\u2011up\u201d cue to signal the end of the planning (\u201cDoes that work for everyone?\u201d). |\n\n**Cueing during role\u2011play**\n\n| Cue Level | Example |\n|-----------|---------|\n| **Full Prompt** | \u201cRemember, after you finish your sentence, look at the timer and then hand the stick to the next person.\u201d |\n| **Partial Prompt** | Point to the **Add** icon on the cue card while the student is thinking. |\n| **Verbal Prompt** | \u201cWhat\u2019s another detail you could add about the park?\u201d |\n| **Visual Prompt** | Brief glance at the **Turn\u2011Taking Tracker** to remind who\u2019s next. |\n| **No Prompt** | Student completes the turn independently. |\n\n*Fading strategy:* After the first scenario, the SLP **drops one level** of prompting for each subsequent scenario (e.g., from full prompt \u2192 partial \u2192 verbal \u2192 visual \u2192 none). The SLP notes which level was needed for each student on the data sheet.\n\n---\n\n## 5. Independent Practice \u2013 \u201cConversation Carousel\u201d (6\u202fmin)\n\n1. **Setup:** Two small \u201cconversation stations\u201d on opposite sides of the table. Each station has a **different topic prompt** (e.g., \u201cFavorite school lunch\u201d vs. \u201cBest video game you\u2019ve played\u201d).  \n2. **Rotation:**  \n   * Students start at Station\u202fA for 2\u202fmin, then rotate clockwise to Station\u202fB for 2\u202fmin, then return to the group for a quick debrief.  \n   * The **Turn\u2011Taking Tracker** and **Topic\u2011Stay Cue Card** remain visible for all.  \n3. **SLP role:** Circulate, offering **only visual glances** at the board if a student looks confused. Record the highest prompting level needed for each turn on the data sheet.  \n\n*Goal:* Students apply the routine with **minimal adult scaffolding**.\n\n---\n\n## 6. Wrap\u2011Up & Reflection (2\u202fmin)\n\n1. **Quick \u201cHigh\u2011Five\u201d Circle:** Each student says one thing they did well (e.g., \u201cI remembered to add a detail\u201d).  \n2. **Goal\u2011Setting Prompt:** \u201cWhat\u2019s one thing you\u2019ll try to do next time you talk with a friend?\u201d (Students whisper to the SLP or write on a sticky note).  \n3. **Positive reinforcement:** Hand out a **\u201cConversation Star\u201d** sticker for each student who used the cue card at least twice independently.\n\n---\n\n## 7. Prompt\u2011Fading Summary (One\u2011Page Quick Reference)\n\n| Phase | Prompt Type | Example | When to Fade |\n|-------|-------------|---------|--------------|\n| **Modeling** | Full modeling by SLP | SLP demonstrates a turn using all visual supports. | After 1\u20132 successful student turns. |\n| **Guided** | Partial (point to cue card) | SLP points to \u201cAdd\u201d icon while student thinks. | When student initiates the next step without a cue. |\n| **Independent with Verbal Prompt** | Short verbal reminder | \u201cRemember to check the timer before you finish.\u201d | After student uses the reminder \u22641 time per turn. |\n| **Independent with Visual Prompt** | Glance at tracker or timer | SLP looks at the tracker to signal next speaker. | When student self\u2011initiates turn\u2011taking for 2 consecutive turns. |\n| **Full Independence** | No prompt | Student uses routine autonomously. | Goal: 80% of turns across the session. |\n\n---\n\n## 8. Simple Data Sheet Layout (One page, printable)\n\n| Student | Scenario | Turn\u2011Taking Accuracy* | Stayed on Topic* | Prompt Level Needed (1\u20115) | Comments (strengths / next steps) |\n|---------|----------|----------------------|------------------|---------------------------|-----------------------------------|\n| A | 1 \u2013 Project | 3/3 (\u2713) | 3/3 (\u2713) | 2 (partial) | Good at adding details; needs reminder for wrap\u2011up. |\n| B | 1 \u2013 Project | 2/3 (\u2013) | 3/3 (\u2713) | 3 (verbal) | Missed turn\u2011taking cue once; used \u201cAdd\u201d well. |\n| C | 1 \u2013 Project | 3/3 (\u2713) | 2/3 (\u2013) | 1 (full) | Stayed on topic after prompt; needs more practice with \u201cWrap\u2011up\u201d. |\n| \u2026 | \u2026 | \u2026 | \u2026 | \u2026 | \u2026 |\n\n\\* **Turn\u2011Taking Accuracy:** Number of turns completed in the correct order (max\u202f=\u202f3).  \n\\* **Stayed on Topic:** Number of turns that remained relevant to the original topic (max\u202f=\u202f3).  \n**Prompt Level Scale:** 1\u202f=\u202fFull modeling, 2\u202f=\u202fPartial cue, 3\u202f=\u202fVerbal prompt, 4\u202f=\u202fVisual glance, 5\u202f=\u202fIndependent.\n\n*Optional:* Add a **\u201cSticker\u201d column** for quick visual reinforcement (e.g., \ud83c\udf1f for independent turn).\n\n---\n\n### Final Tips for the SLP\n\n- **Maintain a neurodiversity\u2011affirming stance:** Celebrate each student\u2019s unique communication style. Emphasize *choice* (e.g., using a talking stick *or* a visual cue) rather than \u201cmust\u2011do\u201d rules.  \n- **Eye contact is optional:** If a student prefers looking at the cue card or the speaker\u2019s mouth, that\u2019s perfectly acceptable. Prompt only when a student seems disengaged, not when they simply avoid eye contact.  \n- **Flexibility:** If a student needs a brief \u201creset\u201d (e.g., a sensory break), allow a 30\u2011second pause before resuming the turn\u2011taking routine.  \n- **Generalization:** Encourage students to try the \u201cTurn\u2011Taking & Topic\u2011Check\u201d routine during lunch, recess, or at home\u2014perhaps by giving them a pocket\u2011size cue card to keep.\n\nEnjoy the session, and have fun watching the conversation flow! \ud83c\udf89",
