Social skills conversation game to help children with autism practice small talk

For many young people on the autism spectrum, doing small talk does not come naturally, and in fact it can be really difficult. Many benefit from mastering certain typical, common ground topics. Since learning these skills is very hard work, we need to keep it as enjoyable as possible.

For some time, in my own work, I have been helping children practice conversation by introducing typical topics of weekends and weather, among others. In March 2021, Everyday Speech Videos featured a training video for children on the spectrum on this topic.

I felt inspired to create a paper fortune teller on this theme.
