Just for Adults: Deductions

Description

Ages: 16-AdultGrades: 11-Adult

Clients who have difficulty with logical thinking after neurological injury learn to make accurate deductions with these lessons. The lessons are controlled for language difficulty and have a systematic progression. The one-page activities give clients targeted practice in deductive reasoning from a variety of perspectives.

Simple, uncluttered pages and a carefully planned task sequence train clients to identify salient information and use convergent reasoning. Clients respond to the tasks by marking the correct answer, giving verbal answers, and writing one-word answers. A screening tool helps you identify the client's reasoning strategies prior to designing therapy sessions.

The activities include:

• making word deductions from sentences and clues (e.g., What has pages, a cover, and is read?)
• answering if/then questions
• answering what, who, and which questions
• determining figural and object classes from visual and verbal clues
