Learn the language. Own your recovery. One word at a time.
After a stroke, the words your healthcare team use every day can feel unfamiliar, confusing, and overwhelming. Understanding them is the first step toward taking an active role in your own recovery.
StrokeWize: Words for Recovery is a structured stroke education workbook that builds understanding through 50 progressive word search puzzles — helping stroke survivors, carers, and families learn the language of stroke, rehabilitation, and recovery in a calm, accessible way.
This is not just a puzzle book. It is a guided learning tool designed to support vocabulary, cognition, confidence, and engagement with recovery.
Inside you will find:
• Accessible stroke education across 50 essential topics
• Progressive word search puzzles graded from simple to challenging
• MDT deep-dive puzzles covering every rehabilitation discipline
• A clinical glossary with plain English definitions and pronunciation guides
• Aphasia-friendly icons supporting every chapter
• QR code audio narration in English for those who find reading difficult
