Over the past month, I’ve had several brain injury and chronic memory or dementia patients in my office! I’ve made quite a few person-centered cognitive supports in the form of signs or labels. Today I’m sharing a Text Size and Type Trial sheet I made for use in therapy to quickly see if a certain font type or font size works best for someone.
