Description
This Conversation Skills deck targets staying on topic, turn taking, asking questions, and conversation repair for upper elementary students ages 8–12. Designed for speech therapy, social skills groups, and SEL lessons, this resource helps students improve conversational reciprocity, topic maintenance, and listener awareness through realistic dialogue-based scenarios. Each activity follows a structured 5-step process: -Notice What Happened -Notice the Thinking -Find the Conversation Goal -Choose a Conversation Tool -Reflection This guides students to understand why breakdowns happen and how to fix them. Students practice common challenges such as interrupting, talking only about themselves, not asking questions back, changing topics suddenly, and ignoring listener signals. This deck supports social cognition, pragmatic language, executive functioning, and self-monitoring skills, making it ideal for students with ASD, ADHD, and mild-to-moderate language needs. The consistent structure builds independence while helping students apply conversation strategies across real-life situations.
