Stroke Recovery Activity Book - Puzzles Workbook for Traumatic Brain Injury & Aphasia Rehabilitation - Large Print (Stroke Recovery Activity Books)

These activities are mainly right brain procedures, which is often lacking due to the emphasis on language. It is easy to understand and practice. If you put a piece of clear plastic over the page and use a china marker it can be used many times until the person is able to do the activity. Cut out the pages to work flat on a tabletop for better hand support. I also recommend this for people recovering from concussion and TBI. Contrast is good, images are large and easy to see, and it helps to find areas of confusion. Although designed for adults, this is also an excellent home activity book for children with developmental issues.

This activity book has motor function activities like cutting out shapes and tracing lines. Paper is a little thin, so I don't recommend using pen for the cognitive puzzles. My husband had a stroke, and his initial recovery was much better than expected. He personally found this activity book to be too easy and opted for a more difficult book. Still a good activity book, just wasn't what we needed.

My Mom began experiencing memory and cognitive issues, the Speech Therapist recommended this book, Incredible!! At first, she said, "Theres NO way I can do that!" and already in the first week, she had been able to do the exercises in the book that she thought were impossible. I can't describe how much it means to her, to our whole family, to see her get back her hand eye coordination with the tracing is really given us hope and gratitude!!!

I got this for my dad after his stroke hoping it would stimulate his brain. It didn’t. There are a lot of seemingly good activities in there to do post stroke. The only reason I didn’t give it a 5 is because it was too advanced for dad at the time we introduced the activity book, then he got very ill with the flu and our window to use it was gone. It took him a long time to recover from the flu and things radically changed.

My sister recently had a stroke, so I bought this book to help with her recovery. It has been a big hit. Highly recommend. Fun and challenging too. I cut a plastic page protector so we can slip that over the pages and use a dry erase marker so we can do the activities over and over again without actually writing in the book. Game changer!

I don't usually write reviews, but this activity book definitely helps me with my cognitive disabilities after my brain surgery. I have struggled finding activities to exercise and keep my brain active. The puzzles are a combination of easy and slightly difficult with someone that has a medium level of cognitive disability. Would definitely buy again.

NICE FOR THE PRICE

This is my mom's rehab book. She was able to make it to pg 10 on her first day. It really helps in calculating some of her cognitive ability.
