Conversation Skills

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

It is so important for learners with multiple disabilities to learn how to communicate for both social and functional reasons. Each child will choose a topic from the list and generate five questions related to that topic. They'll split up into small groups and carry on a structured topical conversation. The conversation variations include abstract concepts, telephone skills, and interview skills.
