Each book in this series addresses an integral component of daily communication and reasoning in a format just right for adults with language and cognitive disorders.

Adult clients improve attention, mental manipulation of information, and comprehension with one-page language lessons that progress in difficulty. A screening tool in each book helps identify the client's use of reasoning strategies prior to designing therapy sessions. The content is basic to moderate difficulty level and reflects a wide variety of language needs for everyday functioning.

Each book targets a different language skill area with appropriate content and reading levels for adults with acquired communication disorders. The 6-book set consists of:
