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 therapy and home program materials based on real life situations to target specific skills identified by the clinician, practice compensatory strategies, and address insight into deficits. The book is made up of deductive reasoning exercises with set instructions, questions, clues, and organizational supports including 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.

Key Features:

64 individual exercises with 4 levels of difficulty for both teens and adults
Open-ended exercises with the option for individual client variables and choices
Group exercises designed for a group of four clients with a clinician facilitator
Answer key
Purchase of this text comes with complimentary access to supplementary PDFs of all exercises on a PluralPlus companion website
