This is the first book to describe how scripts and script fading can provide a predictable and meaningful structure for children and adults with autism to engage in conversation. Using this strategy, children begin by playing recorded words or phases (or reading written ones out loud) to initiate conversation, and often progress to speaking spontaneously with other children or adults. This thorough guide for parents, teachers, and therapists is full of case studies, charts, and photographs, and provides step-by-step instructions to teach conversation skills. It covers scripts for readers and non-readers, conversation activities, activity schedules, talk books, card readers and voice recorders, prompts and rewards, and observing, evaluating, and measuring results. Use this effective tool to teach conversations at home, in school, and in the community.
