This innovative workbook features a collection of large print puzzles and word
games designed to sharpen and stimulate the reasoning and verbal skills in a
patient with mild to moderate neurological impairment. It is an excellent
resource for a patient with visual field neglect, attention/concentration
problems, or word finding difficulties. Many of the exercises provide a resource
for brain game activities in senior communities.
Activities are built around popular topics and include synonyms, antonyms,
definitions, categories, similarities and differences, logical inferences plus
much more. Answers are provided.
Patients needing practice copying or improving the intelligibility to their
written responses with either their dominant or non-dominant hand generally
enjoy this type of format. When patients have their own workbook, it not only
can motivate them, but it will encourage independent practices as they progress
through the hierarchy of activities. For many patients, it may lead to new
leisure time activities or help those who previously enjoyed doing puzzles ease
back into that pastime.
Activities include:
- Word Builder
- Fun with Words
- Words for the Wise
- Word Hunter
- Word Puzzles
