...years.

The scenarios foster problem solving and brainstorming for possible solutions for each difficult communication situation.When Life Gives You Lemons, Make Lemonade - While the theme is lemons the scenarios are common listening situations where problems may occur due to the setting, the listener or the person talking.A scaffolding strategy, I find successful when introducing self-advocacy begins with an experiential language activity of making homemade lemonade.
