Starting a conversation can feel intimidating for any child—especially those navigating social language difficulties.
Many kids with ADHD or expressive language delays fear “getting it wrong” before they even say hello.

Experts emphasize that offering scaffolded starter phrases reduces anxiety and builds independence (Brinton & Fujiki, 1995).
