I work at a outpatient head injury rehab facility and deal mainly with higher level cognition such as attention, problem solving, and memory. It is very difficult to find materials and I used to make up my own. This book has allowed me to free up alot of the time I used producing my own materials. It is a terrific book and a great asset. One other therapist in my facility has bought the book and our student affiliate has taken great interest in it. Great job at making such a useful tool!

As a graduate student, I have found this book to be a valuable resource. I have used it in many different practicum settings, and find the activities and exercises easy to use as well as effective. In addition, the appendix on 'therapy documentation, transition, and discharge' has been very helpful as I learn more about the paperwork that accompanies the field of speech-language pathology.

This is a really nice resource for an SLP working with the TBI population. It is not as repetitive to other resources that I already own that I feared it might be, which is wonderful (especially considering it is almost $100). I would have liked it if it contained a bonus CD with printable forms for the activities and worksheets. I really like that it gives a lot of background info and suggestions for making activities more difficult.

The book is set up nicely. Suggests parameters to evaluate, standardized/non-standardized tests/observations, and simulated situations. Also provides resources for family and compensatory strategies. Overall a very nice all-in-one book that you can also use for CVA and other patients as well as the TBI population.

I am a speech pathologist and work in neuro rehab. This book is a great value and resource to have, especially with higher level clients. Very helpful!

This is a wonderful resource for clinician's, especially those that may NOT be used to working with TBI, right CVA and the higher level dysfunctions. It has exercises, compensatory strategies for both the patient, and suggestions for the patient. I've used it for years.

This is an excellent book for beginning therapists as well as those who have been in the field for several years. I have had the distinct pleasure of working with these authors over the last few months and have found them to be an excellent example of dedicated speech therapists who are willing to go the extra mile for their clients who are higher functioning. The acitivites in this book are functional and easy to adapt to individual clients and their needs. I guarantee that you will find this book useful in planning the most effective and functional therapy for you clients. Enjoy!!
