15 Ways To Target Executive Functioning With This Speech Therapy Holiday Activities Worksheet For Adults
This post is all about holiday activities worksheet
As a speech pathologist working with adults, I created this task to have to have something engaging and functional that lasts about 45 minutes. It is a vacation planning task where the client has to set a budget, choose road or air travel, find flights/gas cost, activities, lodging and stay within the budget. There are pre and post discussion questions.
