"My students became jovial and eager to engage in the lesson. This atmosphere was helpful in therapy to encourage them to self-monitor. They continue to maintain the progress made, which is a testament to the increased motivation they experienced when using this thoughtfully organized, fun and motivating program." – Patricia Amodei, MS, CCC-SLP

"My students made measurable progress due to their increased motivation to practice the scenes. Their frustration decreased and liveliness increased as they acted out these entertaining plays. As a Speech-Language Pathologist, I found the books' organization, use of colors to target sounds, ease of use for group therapy and motivating humor to be extremely helpful." – Colleen Cull, MS, CCC-SLP

"I just got Articulation Theatre. It's really great. The kids seemed to like it!!!" – Randi W., SLP

"My students have really enjoyed the Articulation Theatre Books in therapy this year! They particularly love the I'm Sorry and Insults sections...we always end with compliments and fan mail! Thank you for bringing new life to my speech sessions – especially for my older students and those nearing dismissal who are at the sentence and reading levels!" – Jenn B., SLP

"I got Articulation Theatre this year. I like it for my older kids who are ready to generalize sounds into reading context. Then we can talk about the stories using the vocabulary with their target sounds." – Elisa S., SLP

"I love these! I use the Artic Theatre books to make inferences. I cover the passage and have them read the words and make a smart guess to figure out what they think the passage would be about. And use for artic – more like a warm-up. I think you need to have discussions after reading each passage and have students monitor their speech sounds while discussing. They can be modified for how you want to use them. But better for carry over." – Debbie F., SLP

"These books are amazing! So fun!" – Jessica C., SLP

"My students LOVE Articulation Theatre Books!" – K. Schafnitt, SLP

"The performance at the end of the intervention was a way for my students to work towards a goal and have a product (i.e. performance) to highlight their work. The Articulation Theatre Books were instrumental in helping my students achieve their goals." – Jennifer E. Pohl, MS, CCC-SLP

"It's good to see my son beginning to use the skills he is learning to engage more fully in life and understand the finer points of conversations as they happen. I like the way the program purposes to explain fully how conversations work in a step by step method. Until now I had never thought about what goes into learning how to carry a conversation. Why is it that some people do it so easily and others struggle? I feel that Color My Conversation is a fabulous resource for every single home. It is a program that not only special needs children need. This is a program that all children should have access to."  Read full review

"I love CMC! It uses a kinesthetic approach that kids of all ages can benefit from." – Melissa T.B., SLP

"We have been using Color My Conversation at work and it has been working nicely for engaging in conversation with kids with ASD. So far, we've used it with children ranging from Kindergarten to 8th grade who are verbal, minimally verbally, and even with a child using AAC. It's been easy to incorporate into classrooms, a small social group, and in therapy sessions. Also, I just trained a parent on how to use it. Really have seen great progress in many of my students!" – Debra W., SLP

"I use CMC with my higher functioning autism students. They enjoy the lessons and they’re generalizing the skills."  – Deborah B.M., SLP

"I use it with my lower functioning students when I'm teaching concrete conversational skills." – Alicia M., SLP

"I find CMC to be helpful for those who struggle with the basics and with those who like to launch into monologue after you greet them." – Melissa E., SLP

"I have CMC, and I like it. Great for upper elementary and middle school students who find conversation challenging. It's very well thought out in terms of sequence and skills taught." – Krista D., SLP

"I use Color My Conversation with my students who range in age from kindergarten to grade 4 and I love it." – Deborah B.M., SLP

"I just started using this program a few weeks ago. I have really enjoyed it. I've modified the lesson and pace to match my students' needs. I use it with my 5th/6th-grade students. Thinking of possibly using for a few of my high school kiddos." – Andrea J., SLP

"I run Social Skills camps and groups for children between the ages of 6-11 who have a range of diagnoses including Autism, ADD, fluency disorders, and language disorders. We use the Color My Conversation (CMC) curriculum as it provides the kids a practical multi-sensory method for learning where, when, and how to have successful conversations with peers and adults. I notice that the children are better able to carry on conversations about non-preferred topics, ask questions, and use comments to show their partners that they are listening and caring about what others are sharing. They love to walk the conversation path and it gets the kids moving and learning. I notice that their anxiety level when conversing with peers is lower after training. Giving out tokens for comments and questions during the game provides a system for measuring progress as well." – Speech-Language Pathologist

"I’ve noticed several remarkable changes in 'A' since he began using the Color My Conversation program with Rosslyn. The first significant change, and a real “a-ha” moment for 'A', was when he finally understood the importance of eye contact. This small detail changed everything for him. For the first time in his life, he began to engage with the people around him and, more importantly (to him) began to get friendly, interested responses in return. For me, a huge encouragement has been the feedback I’ve received from many of my friends, most of whom do not know that 'A' is receiving any kind of therapy. Several have taken the time to seek me out to tell me that they’ve seen a real change in him. They’ve told me of the great conversations they’ve had - and most have commented that this is something very new in their relationship with him. Some have been a little more blunt and have told me he doesn’t talk nonsense anymore, and they feel that they can really talk to him now and meet the real 'A'. One mother of children with severe relational issues sought me out to ask me what I had done. Whatever it was, she wanted it! It really isn’t an exaggeration to say this program has begun to change 'A’s life. He has confidence, he is able to engage in one to one conversation, and AMAZINGLY he has friends for the first time ever. In the past, kids have avoided him and refused his invitations to hang out in our home because they found him odd and hard work; but now they actively seek him out and respond to his social invitations. As a mother, there are no words to describe what it’s like to see your desperately lonely, socially awkward (formerly) child interact with friends for the first time. We love Color My Conversation." – Parent

"I have a child with Asperger's Syndrome and even though he is a genius, he had no idea how to "act appropriately" with his peers. He did not possess the tools to properly initiate conversation with people. He was unable to express himself through words or facial recognition. In a nutshell, he was a grumpy looking, unapproachable boy who estranged himself from people through hyper-focusing on books and self-interest. We were referred to Rosslyn Delmonico through a friend because I was having anxiety about my son having difficulty transitioning into the next level of school and social obligation (high school). Rosslyn worked hard with my son that summer. Through the Color My Conversation program, he was given the tools to initiate basic conversations, introduce preferred topics and use proper eye contact and body language. The pivotal point was when he was able to show emotion through facial expressions, which he had very much struggled with. With all of this, he was able to transition into high school in a socially acceptable manner, which enabled him to make friends, and excel profusely. I know for a fact that my son would not be the same person socially, emotionally and in general if it were not for Rosslyn Delmonico and her extraordinary Color My Conversation. My son is proud to be graduating this year, with full academic credits, and is looking forward to continuing his education within the culinary arts." – Parent
