Answering the Phone

Answering the Phone

This resource is a social script supporting someone to answer the phone and pass on to the appropriate person. This script can be used during role play to practise and displayed next to the phone for ongoing visual support. When teaching this skill in the classroom or at home an adult could provide the responsibility of answering the phone to certain children and plan extra phone calls. During the learning process it may be useful to practise phone calls where the recipient does not deviate from the script until the child begins to generalise the skill. Cut and paste photos and write names in the spaces provided to offer a direct script for a particular student and environment.
