Teaching conversation skills can feel overwhelming.

Many students with social, attentional, and language differences struggle because conversation is invisible, fast-moving, and unpredictable.

This pack helps make conversation visible, teachable, and measurable.

With the Conversation Paths Pack, you can:

• Move beyond working on turn taking and questions

• Give students a clear roadmap for participating in conversations

• Make conversations visible and easier to process

• Support meaningful engagement without scripting

Track progress with tools that focus on growth, not deficits.

This resource is a great fit if you:

• Work with students who want to connect but struggle with conversation flow

• Work with young adults and adults who want to have richer conversations

• Work with head injury/stroke patients trying to regain higher-level conversation skills

• Are looking for alternatives to rigid scripts or role-play drills

• Want tools that support autonomy, flexibility, and real-world use

• Need practical supports for goal writing and data collection

This may not be the right fit if you are only looking for:

• Simple turn-taking cards

• Scripted conversation prompts without flexibility

• A one-size-fits-all solution

“I love the idea of conversational paths. I have always been so lost on how to target conversational turn taking and making it more organic. I love the CPPEV too! So informative.”

“Powerful information - really increased my confidence in goal writing and progress monitoring for conversational skills.”

FAQs

Is CPPEV 2.0 right for the students and adults in your caseload?

CPPEV 2.0 is recommended for:

• students in 4th- 5th grade and higher (this, of course, depends on individual profile, strengths, & goals.)

• young adults and adults who want to have richer conversations or who can still benefit from practice

• head injury/stroke patients trying to regain higher-level conversation skills

• individual, group, in-person or teletherapy sessions.

Since standard classifications using the DSM-V, which stem from a deficit-focused/medical model, are still commonly used, these guidelines may help identify if CPPEV 2.0 is an appropriate therapy choice.

CPPEV 2.0 is often/usually appropriate for students with diagnoses such as:

• Social (Pragmatic) Communication Disorder 

• Language Disorder/Language Impairment

• students with language formulation and/or language processing differences

• Students with an “original” diagnosis of Asperger’s but who now fall under ASD

• Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) – often listed in IEPs as Other Health Impaired

Parts of CPPEV 2.0 may be appropriate for students with a diagnosis of:

• Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)

• Social Anxiety Disorder 

CPPEV 2.0 is typically NOT appropriate for students with a diagnosis of ASD who:

• are nonverbal or minimally verbal

• who communicate via AAC devices, ASL, or modified sign language
