Answering & Conversation (Intraverbals)
Responding to another person’s words without simply repeating them. Conversation brings this together with listening, initiating and other communication skills.
What might this include?
- Answering a familiar question
- Completing a familiar phrase
- Asking a related question
- Sharing a topic of interest
Speech, gestures, signs, pictures and AAC can all be valid ways to communicate. Looking into someone’s eyes is not required to show listening or connection.
