The High Level Word-Finding Workbook is designed to address complex word-finding issues in adults with cognitive-communication challenges. It focuses on difficulties arising from a broader decline in cognitive functioning (information processing, attention, memory, and executive functions).
This is a 34-page PDF (including cover page) that incorporates the following:
1. Engaging content: Features a blend of visuals, examples, and exercises to teach effective word-finding strategies.
2. Personalized Learning: Encourages clients to create their own examples, fostering deeper engagement and understanding.
3. Metacognitive Approach: Helps clients to reflect on and choose effective strategies for different situations.
4. Real-Life Application: Emphasizes the importance of cognitive load and real-life communicative demands of word-finding.
5. Practice Exercises: Includes several decontextualized exercises using moderate to complex targets for clients who require additional practice.
6. Strategy Tracking and Home Programming: Home tracking to monitor usage and effectiveness of strategies.
Feel confident in providing evidence-based care for clients facing high level word-finding challenges!
My favorite resource to date! I never purchase workbooks but this is the exception. I reference this resource all the time and use with a variety of diagnoses. I love how Danielle combines functional exercises, easy to understand definitions, compensatory strategies, evidence based practice and a metacognitive approach. I highly recommend this resource!! Thank you Danielle for making my life easier and helping my clients!!
This is a MUST for SLP’s who specialize in Neuro! I have used it with my high level patients for over a month and we are loving it! The organization is perfect and easy to use. My patients also express that the layout is extremely user friendly. The strategy and exercise sheets are fantastic takeaways that reinforce concepts that are taught and practiced within sessions. We are all smiles about this material in Memphis! Thank you for such an amazing resource!
This is an essential resource for my clients with higher-level word finding difficulties. I would highly recommend this workbook to any neuro SLP. It is well organized, with a good combination of education and personally-relevant exercises to help clients target their verbal expression goals.
This is an amazing product that is applicable to a number of diagnoses (mTBI, aphsia/stroke, PD, MS, etc.). There is a big push for "no workbooks" among SLP but this is absolutely the exception. It is easy to pick and choose the worksheets that meet your patients' needs to keep care patient centered. My patients have been very receptive to utilizing for their home exercise program and I enjoy them sharing how they utilized the discussed strategies in daily communication since their last session. I have paired this with the Word Finding Difficulties Questionnaire for taking pre and post measures of effectiveness. Highly recommend this product and love how it simplifies planning for sessions.
What an amazing, timely, on point with evidence and our clients needs clinical resource this workbook is!
Thank you neuroconnections! The graphics for word retrieval strategies are client friendly ! The size of font and choice of vocabulary is client focused!
