Stroke Recovery Activity Book

About this book

Practice the skills of everyday life.

A large-print activity book for adults who want steady, friendly practice with attention, memory, numbers and handwriting, including people recovering after a stroke. Pages are uncluttered, directions are short and clear, and three levels let you start easy and build up at your own pace.

Inside you will find nine kinds of activities at every level:

• Attention: cross out every letter, star or arrow, and spot the differences between two pictures
• Visual scanning: read rows from left to right to find matching numbers, letters and words
• Memory: study a list, then recall it on a later page, with hints and a pick-the-word round
• Everyday math: count coins and bills, make change, tell time on clock faces, read a calendar, a receipt, a utility bill and a restaurant check
• Patterns: what comes next in number, letter, day and month sequences
• Tracing and handwriting: dotted lines, shapes, capital and small letters, numbers, then your own name and address
• Drawing: copy simple pictures square by square on a grid
• Word searches: 10 x 10 grids with big letters
• Planning: pack a bag, plan a day, plan a trip budget and a dinner

Also included: a guide to using the book, a note for helpers, a progress log with simple faces to circle, and a full answer key.
