Synopsis

"Deductive Reasoning Exercises for Attention and Executive Functions: Real-Life Problem Solving" is a workbook intended for speech-language pathologists and other clinicians working with clients with cognitive-linguistic impairments. The objective is to provide a fun way for clients to engage in therapy as well as provide home program materials that target specific skills identified by the clinician, address compensatory strategies, and provide insight into deficits. This workbook is made up of deductive reasoning exercises based on real-life situations with instructions, questions, and clues, as well as organizational supports such as grids, calendars, and lists.A variety of themes are presented so that clinicians can select exercises based on the client's interest and personal experience, and a variety of levels are included to both fit the needs of a range of clients as well as the needs of individual clients as they progress.The exercises require no preparation or additional materials and can be used for the following purposes: (a) address specific goals such as attention, working memory, executive functions, and visuospatial skills; (b) provide drills with specific metacognitive strategies; and (c) target insight through mimicking real-life activities that may be more challenging after a brain injury or change in medical status.
