Chain connection and un-connection activity

This activity is designed to increase awareness of remaining on-topic in conversation. Cut out the individual pieces. While two participants are speaking together, place the chains in sequence as long as they stay on a shared topic. Place a broken chain piece when someone introduces a new topic too abruptly. Keep a broken chain prompt handy for nonverbal reminder when non sequitur comments take place. At the link below, you can read more details about this activity and view a Youtube video I created to explain it. There are also downloads of the images so that you can share this activity with others. http://autismteachingstrategies.com/autism-strategies/using-chain-and-building-visuals-to-promote-connected-conversation-in-kids-with-asd-next-blog-has-the-downloadable-images/

Derived from a method described in: Relationship Development Intervention with Children, Adolescents and Adults, Steven Gutstein and Rachelle Sheely, 2006, Anthenaeum Press.
