Conducting effective conversational sampling involves several steps:
Establish Rapport: Building rapport with the child is essential to make them feel comfortable and open to conversation. Initiate Conversation: Start with open-ended questions or topics of interest to the child. Observe and Record: Pay close attention to the child's language use, sentence structure, and social cues. Recording the conversation can be helpful for later analysis. Analyze: Review the recorded conversation to assess the child's developmental progress and identify any areas of concern.
