<\/a><\/center> <\/p>\nColor My Conversation is a series of lessons that help children with their conversational skills through an engaging, multi-sensory approach.\u00a0 My family and I\u00a0was blessed to have\u00a0the opportunity to review Color My Conversation<\/span><\/a>\u00a0by Northern Speech Services<\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n The program is designed for students who are struggling with conversation and\u00a0may include those who have been diagnosed with autism, Asperger syndrome, language delayed, and ADHD.<\/p>\n CMC\u00a0can be used in a classroom environment with multiple students or in a one on one situation like therapy or at home with a parent.\u00a0 It is recommended to use CMC once week for 45 minutes or twice a week for 30 minutes per session.<\/p>\n My family used CMC in the home environment and received the Color My Conversation kit which included:<\/p>\n When we opened the box, I was very impressed with the quality of the items included in the kit.\u00a0 All of the materials were made with quality items and are made to stand up to a lot of use.<\/p>\n There are four levels to CMC: Beginning, Intermediate, Advanced, and Expert.<\/p>\n The beginning level is for\u00a05-12 year olds and takes\u00a0approximately\u00a05 weeks to complete.\u00a0 Intermediate is for\u00a05-12 year olds\u00a0and takes\u00a0approximately 6-8 weeks to complete.\u00a0 Then, advanced students,\u00a08-12 years of age will take approximately 3-5 weeks to complete.\u00a0 The expert level is for all ages.<\/p>\n Peanut and I spent the entire review\u00a0working through the beginning level.\u00a0 Before every lesson there is a short video for me to watch.\u00a0 It briefly explains what we are going to be working on that day, along with teaching me any necessary things like the ASL signs introduced that day.\u00a0 I found the videos to be very useful and thankful I had examples for signing.<\/p>\n The instruction sheet, included on the CD in the kit has everything laid out for me, including the goals of the lesson, the materials used from the kit, a guided text for what I needed to tell Peanut, along with any tips and the lessons\u00a0challenges to \u00a0be worked on at home (if used in a school or therapy environment) or on another day if done at home.<\/p>\n The lessons have been building on one another.\u00a0\u00a0Peanut\u00a0has learned how to greet others, how to start and stop conversations, how to change the conversation, as well as topics of conversations and the farewell of conversations.\u00a0 CMC uses songs (included on a CD in the kit) and various other activities to reinforce what has been taught.<\/p>\n Prior to beginning CMC, Peanut’s eye contact was very minimal when speaking to others.\u00a0 She always focused on something other than who she was speaking to.\u00a0 I have noticed a great improvement on her eye contact when conversing with others.\u00a0 She has had some improvement on her conversational skills.\u00a0 I will be continuing to use Color My Conversation with her to continue developing her conversation skills.<\/p>\n Social Media Links:<\/strong> Please click the banner below for additional Homeschool Review Crew reviews of Color My Conversation by Northern Speech Services.<\/p>\n![\"Northern](\"http:\/\/i1202.photobucket.com\/albums\/bb374\/TOSCrew2011\/2017%20Homeschool%20Review%20Crew\/04%20-%20April\/11%20-%20Northern%20Speech%20Services\/Color_My_Converstaion_Second_Edition_zpsiualyr4i.jpg\")
