This quick and simple reference is organized and written in a way that enables the user to quickly open it and skim a chapter for new treatment ideas.

More than 350 photographs are included to supplement treatment activities that require further explanation. The durable spiral binding allows the book to lay flat in times when space is limited, such as in the classroom or clinic.

Therapists can quickly find ideas for specific impairments and design creative and resourceful treatment sessions using the activities provided.

Each chapter includes:

  • A brief description explaining the treatment topic
  • An explanation of why a particular skill is important
  • A list of compensatory strategies that may be employed by the therapist to assist the child who is deficient in a particular skill
  • A list of treatment ideas and activities in which to engage, in order to work on the specific treatment goal
