Conversational Skills: Elaboration
This handout makes clear how elaborated answers to a simple question (“How was your sister's wedding?”) extend conversations. Teachers and SLPs can break down the provided answers to demonstrate how story details give communicative partners more to talk about.
Conversational Skills: Elaboration
For learners with Autism Spectrum Disorder (or anyone looking to strengthen conversation skills, for that matter), this handout covers the importance of elaboration when answering questions and how elaborate responses help maintain the flow of a conversation.
This printable handout offers examples of a wide array of responses to the same question, guiding students toward a conversational practice activity. For individuals on the autism spectrum, the scripted responses directly illustrate how elaborate responses organically extend conversations. The activity begins with a written conversation about elaboration and relevant social dynamics.
