“In ‘Conversing Together Towards Connection!’, you’ll find a comprehensive reading activity designed for working with autistic children or adolescents, aimed at emphasizing the importance of conversation and the rules that can facilitate effective communication. This material chronicles the story of a young individual named Alex who struggles with engaging in conversations but understands its necessity in his life. Post-reading, young readers will answer tailored comprehension questions and partake in a practical activity applying the conversation rules they learned. This material also includes a section about alternative and augmentative communication (AAC) tools, which are resources and strategies used to support people with communication difficulties or limitations in verbal language. From communication boards to synthesized voice systems, these tools can facilitate participation and comprehension among students.”
