Therapy Task Ideas: I love TED Talks because they are interesting, relevant topics created for adults, so it never seems school-ish or childish to use with adults in therapy.

If you like these ideas, be sure to check out my Home Sweet Home Series. Here are some ways I have incorporated TED Talks into therapy:

To Target Strategies or Skills in This Area:	The Patient Could Do This:
*Verbal Expression*	Summarize 10+ main points and supporting details. Give a critique of the Talk (higher level language and formulation). Use Talk information to give a persuasive report. *Use word-finding strategies to retell story to family member.
Written Expression	Write 4 main points to summarize the information. Create an outline to practice written organizational strategies. Write a summary or evaluation of the topic/speaker . Write a persuasive essay or position statement in response to the topic.
Auditory Comprehension	Challenge comprehension across lengthier tasks (up to 18 min.). Use my outline to help ask comprehension questions. Practice using strategies such as note-taking to enhance comprehension.
Reading Comprehension	(Nope).
Motor Speech	*Challenge ability to carry-over motor speech strategy or skill while summarizing or giving a presentation about the topic.
Attention	Sustain attention for listening up to 18 min. Alternate / divide attention for note-taking during Talk.
Memory	*Short-term recall for Talk info (immediate or delayed up to 1 week).
Thought Organization	*Organize an outline of the main points and supporting ideas during the Talk.
Problem-Solving / Reasoning	*Choose to use the right strategy, at the right time.
Executive Function	*Evaluate strategy success during task or planning how to adapt strategies for new situation.
Pragmatics	Use appropriate social language for a verbal task (Practice adjusting to situation: peers vs professional). Use appropriate eye contact, facial expression, gestures for presentation.
