Memory Strategies Worksheets for Adults (32 Worksheets) - Memory

Thirty-two printable memory strategies worksheets for adults, teaching eight strategies for memory one at a time. Each strategy has a one-page handout to keep, then three worksheets that put it to work on everyday tasks: a shopping list, errands, appointments, phone messages, the names of new people, where things are kept, a letter from the clinic and a new routine. Every worksheet has a model answer.

The strategies run from compensatory memory strategies (one notebook for everything, reminders you will notice, a home for each thing) to memory enhancing strategies (grouping, picturing, putting it in your own words), plus two methods a partner can use to teach a name, a fact or a routine.

Designed by a clinician with 10+ years in brain injury and cognitive rehabilitation.

What's included (32 worksheets in a 37-page PDF, plus 26 pages of model answers):

• 8 learn it pages, one per strategy: what it is, how to do it in a few steps, what it is good for, and who it suits
• 8 basic worksheets: the strategy with plenty of support, the groups or sections given, recall straight away
• 8 moderate worksheets: fewer cues, more to remember and a wait of 5 to 10 minutes before recall
• 8 complex worksheets: the person sets the strategy up, with longer waits and real plans from their own week
• A memory strategy card with all eight strategies and a match of everyday jobs to strategies, a how-to-use page that says which strategies suit whom, and a strategy log for a week at home
• Partner scripts printed on the page; a model answer or filled example for every worksheet, in its own PDF; name and date fields; US Letter, print-ready

The eight strategies: write it in one place (a memory notebook), plan the when (reminders for things to do later), keep it in its place, group it, picture it, make it your own (with five steps for reading a letter), learn it without guessing (errorless learning) and recall it at growing gaps (spaced retrieval).

How it's graded: each strategy moves from learning it (page A) to practicing it on a set task (page B) to using it in daily life (page C and the strategy log), the three stages of memory strategy training.

Who it's for: OTs and SLPs teaching memory strategies after stroke or brain injury, memory groups and rehabilitation programs, and family members helping at home. Notebooks and reminders suit every level, grouping and picturing suit milder memory difficulty, and the partner methods suit names, facts and routines when memory loss is more severe.
