The Problem: The patient who doesn’t like or doesn’t thrive with workbook therapy. But, coming up with functional activities (and documenting about how it meets a patient’s goal!) can be time-consuming in a job that doesn’t allow for it on the clock.

The Solution: This 40-page downloadable Home Sweet Home Series contains 80+ therapy activities grouped by home topics, so you can choose a meaningful/relevant topic for each patient and use that topic to address a variety of goals and strategies. Each topic also has a companion documentation starter guide for each activity, as a quick resource to document about language or cognition goals.

This series specifically focuses on common home topics including: cooking/meal planning, cleaning/laundry, medication management, managing a schedule, managing finances, managing home problems, caring for pets, gardening/outdoor tasks. This workbook is highly useable and adaptable for a variety of patients who hope to resume some sort of independence with the home tasks listed.

How Sarah Uses These:

I use something from the Home Sweet Home Series with nearly every patient I work with! If the patient has any sort of goal relating to the home topics, I try to tailor parts of therapy to that topic. I absolutely use the Patient Interview Tool and Home Program template regularly for functional therapy and home program planning.

The Evidence Shows: Therapy needs to be meaningful, relevant, and functional in order to make a lasting difference.

This Means That: We can explore new ways to challenge language and cognition–even using functional activities and interests as a vehicle to challenge certain skill areas. The Home Sweet Home Series uses common home topics/interests to target language and cognition.
