Students with autism, voice disorders, low intelligibility, motor-speech disorders, and English-language learners can benefit from these activities. Here's what you get: Social Story (10 cards): A social story with photographs to illustrate getting the listener’s attention, body orientation / head position, loudness, topic introduction, prosodic stress, slowing rate, syllabification, and over articulation. Say it Slower, Practice (10 cards): Contains audio clip models and practice sentences. Say All Word Parts, Practice (10 cards): Contains audio clip models to practice saying motorically complex words with syllabication. Word Stress Receptive (14 cards): Illustrated activity with audio clips, on the importance of stressing key words for listener understanding. Notice how word-stress helps you choose the correct answer. Word Stress Expressive (14 cards): Illustrated activity to choose the correct key words to stress in a sentence to increase listener understanding. Over-Say-It, Practice (10 cards): Contains audio clip models and practice overaticulation in sentences. Modeling, listening activity: Sort 16 audio clips non-examples to tell what the speaker can do better. This activity is a favorite for students with autism who may initially like correcting others more than self-critique.
