Their latest post, Accountable Talk® for Everyone, is a particulary good one. Buddy talk, Accountable Talk, small group discussions, partner work---these are all extremely challenging for language impaired children. The child may know answers, but to explain thought processes, or to think about ideas from others' perpectives and provide verbal supports for your own opinions is difficult. The author of this blog post, Sarah Smith, M.S,, CCC-SLP, has provided the readers with free visuals to aid a child duing Accountable Talk times in the classroom. These are leveled flip books--one for beginners, and one for more advanced learners.
