Allerton's Brain Fitness Word Search - Fun Large Print Puzzles for Daily Brain Health, Volume 1: Around the House (Dementia Activity Books)

Allerton's Brain Fitness Word Searches are specially adapted for seniors with dementia, Alzheimer's, and aphasia.
Everyone likes word search puzzles, but regular puzzles can become too challenging for people struggling with cognitive impairments. With this in mind, we've designed the puzzles in this book with many adaptations so that people with dementia and aphasia can still enjoy this fun and beneficial activity:

• Simplified Puzzle Grids: The puzzles use a simple 10 x 10 grid size which makes it easier to find words (no hunting through a huge sea of letters on a 25 x 25 grid!). Also, there are just 10 words per puzzle, making the grid less crowded and reducing the number of overlapping words.
• 
  
• No Backwards Words: So many seniors stop doing word searches because they find it too difficult and frustrating to locate backwards words on the grids. The puzzles in this book do not include backwards orientations because we want our puzzle solvers to have fun and SUCCEED!
• 
  
• All-Caps Word Lists Match the All-Caps Grids: We've printed the word lists in all capital letters to match the capital letters used in the puzzle grids. This makes it easier for people to recognize the letters and find the words.
• 
  
• Word Lists Use Basic, Everyday Vocabulary: The 60 puzzles in this book use familiar, everyday words that are easy to recognize.
• 
  
• Extra-Large-Print Puzzles AND Solutions: All of the puzzle grids are printed in a bold, extra-large, 30-pt type, making them accessible to seniors with low vision. As a bonus, the solutions are just as big as the puzzles themselves!

• Includes Nearly 600 High-Frequency Words to Improve Communication: The puzzles in this volume use carefully-selected, high-frequency "Around the House" words that are critical for daily communication. This strategic vocabulary review is a compelling reason to choose Allerton's Brain Fitness over other word search books.
• 
  
• Provides a Great Way to Exercise Your Mind: Working on these puzzles will help solvers exercise their memory, and practice their focus, concentration, and attention to detail.
• 
  
• Delivers a Sense of Accomplishment: Every time someone with dementia is able to complete a task independently, it provides him or her with an important sense of accomplishment. The adapted word searches in this book allow solvers to experience this feeling again and again as they find the words in each puzzle.
• 
  
• Reduces Stress and Boredom: Doing puzzles is a naturally relaxing activity, and this book is packed with word searches that will help pass many pleasant hours.
• 
  
• Preserves Dignity: Sometimes, seniors are given children's puzzle books because it can be difficult to find adult puzzles matched to the abilities of someone with dementia. Allerton's Brain Fitness preserves the dignity of the puzzle solver by pairing solvable, adapted puzzles with an age-appropriate cover. Additionally, so that our puzzle solvers can enjoy the book without feeling labeled, the words "dementia" and "Alzheimers" do not appear on the cover or in the interior of the book.
