Customer Reviews

A comprehensive and practical manual.

Organized from a functinal skills rather than a process-orientated approach to rehabilitation, this book offers nine (9) units of structured training in everyday tasks using real-life materials. The sections cover reading comprehension, computations, checking accounts, meal planning, giving and receiving directions, using the telephone and telephone books, using schedules and calendars, using the newspaper, and personal time management. A seperate section on Memory Notebook Training is also included. Patients will easily see the relevance of theses tasks. Unfortunately, nearly all of the exercises are far too advanced for geriatric CVA and TBI patients who have no intention of returning to employment. Only the Memory Book section would be relevant to geriatric patients
