Selective Attention Worksheets for Adults (30 Worksheets) - Attention
Thirty printable selective attention worksheets for adults. On every page something competes with the target: shapes that share its outline or its number of dots, pictures drawn the wrong size on purpose, or words read aloud that sound like the one the person is listening for, with a radio on in the background. The person has to stay with what the page asks for and let the near misses go by. Every page has a name and a date field, and every worksheet has an answer key.
Designed by a clinician with 10+ years in brain injury and cognitive rehabilitation.
What's included (30 worksheets plus answer keys, 40 pages):
- 10 basic worksheets: large shapes with two kinds of look-alike, picture pairs far apart in size with 2 of 9 drawn the other way, and word lists read slowly in a quiet room
- 10 moderate worksheets: four kinds of look-alike over a busier background, half the picture boxes drawn the other way, and 80-word lists with 20 sound-alikes and a radio on low
- 10 complex worksheets: five kinds of look-alike with the background running through the shapes, boxes of three pictures, and two words to listen for at once
- Three formats across the levels: look-alike shapes, bigger in real life, and listen for your word (a partner reads the list; the person keeps a cut-off strip with a picture and boxes)
- Answer keys four to a page with every target ringed, every count filled in, the boxes drawn the other way labeled and the sound-alikes underlined; name and date fields; US Letter, print-ready
How it's graded: the look-alikes move closer to the target, more of the pictures are drawn the other way, and the background noise gets louder, so the same three formats keep asking for a firmer hold on what matters.
Who it's for: OTs and SLPs running attention practice after stroke or brain injury, rehabilitation and community programs, educators, and caregivers or family members who can read a word list aloud.
