Once upon a time, there were autistic, ADHD, and anxious students who didn't know how to initiate a social conversation with someone that they knew.

Some students weren't able to think of something that the person they were talking to liked or liked to talk about, so they ended up using generic conversation starters like, "Hey, what's up?" Or, "How's it going?"

Some students were able to think of things they knew about the other person, but they didn't know how to use that information to start a conversation, so they didn't say anything.

I created the lesson I'm sharing this week for all of these students.

In this lesson, students learn the difference between an informational and a social conversation, and how to initiate a conversation with someone they know based on things they know about them.
