Functional Reading Activities: Groceries

The Medical Management Life Skills Bundle includes worksheets and realistic activities that can be used to practice reading prescription labels, understanding prescribed doses, identifying pill organization errors, planning re-fills, and much more. Medication management, when it relates to cognitive-communication skills, is well within our scope of practice as Speech-Language Pathologists. Many of our patients take multiple medications on a daily basis and medication administration can be a complex multi-step process. To maximize independence and safety, it is important to address medication management and ensure that our patients are complying with their prescribed medication regimen. This resource also includes medical tracking forms and a guide to help you create your own medication management practice kit.
