Detailed Description From the authors of the acclaimed Activity Schedules for Children with Autism, comes this thorough guide for parents and teachers that provides step-by-step instructions on how to teach conversation skills. Because many individuals with autism have difficulty initiating and maintaining conversation, this book describes how scripts and script fading can provide a predictable and meaningful structure for these individuals to engage in conversation. The goal is for these scripts to then progress to spontaneous language. Relying on Applied Behavior Analysis and filled with case studies, charts and photographs, the book covers scripts for readers and non-readers; conversation activities; activity schedules; prompts and rewards; and observing, evaluating and measuring results.
