Other SLPs and teachers are saying...
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Kati R. says, "Perfect resource to use with my transition-aged students! Some of my students have difficulty making friends and starting conversations with others. This was perfect to use to help them get to know their classmates a bit better as well as approaching others to make conversation."
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Roxanne L. says, "I used this product with remote high schoolers. I used it as the structured conversational activity for almost all of the my students (readers) during the first few sessions this year in order to strike up a conversation that supported their ability to take a turn without having to "think of something." This activity was used after we reviewed goals and discussed previous therapy, etc. It was effective, quick, and made those "introductory conversations" easier for all of us. I roll it out whenever someone new comes onto my caseload. Excellent purchase!"
