I am so excited about getting started!

I am currently developing new group activities for the ward, and my work colleague recommended your website as a fabulous resource. I can't wait to start browsing the site.

Kind regards,

Margaret

Aphasia Care Plan Sample

You may also use the activities in the website under the category
"Sensory" such as 'Beauty Therapy', 'Nail Care', 'Compresses'.
Alternatively you can adapt the 'Scent Guessing' to your aphasic
client. Place scent close to their nose and let them inhale a couple
of times before proceeding with the next scent. Never assume that
there is nothing in their minds just because they are unable to let
you know. Another activity that may stimulate their senses is to have
a wooden board covered with felt; place the board close to them and
place photos of their family on the felt, saying the names of the
people. Stay with each photo at least 20 seconds before continue with
another. Of course, don't underestimate the power of music, ask their
relatives what sort of music they like. Good luck!
