I really wish this book was around when my dad suffered stroke in early 1999. He could have greatly benefited from this book and as his main caregiver (until his passing in 2010) I would have enjoyed helping him with it.
With 144 pages, this large print workbook has varied difficulty levels, Answer Key in back and very user-friendly. It would make a great little gift that can help in a big way! Over 100 activities for: memory, attention, language skills, fine motor skills, speech, and problem-solving.
Matching puzzles, coloring, mazes, crossword, word searches and Sudoku puzzles. There is a progressive difficulty to many puzzles/activities.
Well-designed, easy to use. Pick and choose any activity you like. Very inspirational and encouraging.
Some of the images are a bit too childish but for a stroke patient, simple images may be just what they need and are capable of at a point in their recovery.
Tempting as it may be, I am resisting the urge to do some of the puzzles ( it can be a fun activity book for non-stroke people as well!) as I wish to leave the book pristine and unmarked so that I can then donate it to one who needs it.… (lisätietoja)

This had a wide variety of activities for someone to do. They were not kept together by activity so it keeps people engaged and wanting to complete the next activity.
