Building Word Recall From Everyday Situations
A Manual For Therapists, Clients, and Families
You will find this entirely reproducible manual to be the perfect resource to restore your client’s functional speech. Save hours of preparation time and give your clients the tools they need to accelerate progress. This highly useful manual was written in response to client and family requests for real-life activities they can relate to and transfer to their daily speech. It will give your clients the words they need to interact and communicate in everyday situations.
This manual gives you a practical and progressive sequence for building word recall skills. The hierarchy progresses in steps, moving clients from automatic responses to purposeful speech. All activities can be adapted to the individual needs of clients displaying mild, moderate, and severe impairments. The manual is ideal for clients experiencing aphasia, language impairment, brain trauma, dementia, and progressive degenerative disease. It is also excellent for individual or group sessions and suitable for all the various settings we address.
Hundreds of reproducible activities allow your clients to feel success. Each activity page emphasizes the words, phrases, and sentences that are a part of your clients’ daily routines and sequences. Responses can be verbal and/or written. Space is provided for written responses for those clients who are also working on written expression. Clients can complete all activities using verbal responses only.
Increase family and client interaction and home practice time. You can reproduce all activity pages for home practice. The familiar content makes it easy for clients and families to make the connection between therapy sessions and home practice.
