Providing over 100 ideas for word games and group activities, this book is the perfect timesaver for the busy practitioner. The instructions for each activity have been kept to a minimum, so you can easily adapt it to your clients' communication, cognitive, and reading skills.
This is a new edition of a book that has been in print for over forty years. It includes brand-new activities and a full update of existing ones to make them relevant to the 2020s. Tasks are divided into three sections: Short Answers, suitable for limited communication or quick-fire tests; more demanding Longer Answers that require a series of words or sentences; and Longest Answers, for more open-ended tasks and group work.
The handbook will allow anyone working with groups and individuals with communication difficulties to plan sessions quickly and easily. It has long been an essential part of the toolkit for every speech and language therapist, care professional, and activity provider. Most importantly, it is intended to get people talking, and to make therapy fun for you and your clients.
