A Tale of Two Conversations is a two-part video, originally developed by the Office for Dispute Resolution in Pennsylvania, showing actors playing a parent of a child with a disability and a school administrator.

Take One shows the parent and administrator talking about the child’s special education program. They are talking, but not listening, and their communication is unproductive. Take Two shows each person using more effective communication skills.
