Sensory Deficit Workbook

Caring for a loved one with sensory deficits—such as vision loss, hearing impairment, taste changes, or reduced touch sensitivity—can feel overwhelming. That’s why we created the Sensory Deficit Workbook, a practical, easy-to-use guide designed specifically for family caregivers. This resource will help you better understand sensory changes, implement safety measures, and create meaningful strategies to enhance your loved one’s daily life.

Whether you are navigating aging-related sensory loss or caring for someone with a medical condition like dementia, diabetes, or stroke complications, this workbook equips you with actionable steps and caregiver-friendly tools.

Why This Workbook Matters

Sensory deficits often go unnoticed until they cause serious problems. A missed step, an unrecognized fire alarm, or spoiled food can quickly turn into emergencies. By working through this Sensory Deficit Workbook, you’ll learn how to:

• Identify sensory changes early before they become major risks.

• Improve communication when vision or hearing is impaired.

• Make the home safer with simple, affordable modifications.

• Enhance quality of life through sensory stimulation and adaptive strategies.

Caregiving is already challenging—don’t let preventable accidents or misunderstandings add more stress. This workbook puts you back in control.

What’s Inside the Sensory Deficit Workbook?

This comprehensive caregiver resource is filled with:

• Step-by-step assessments to help you track changes in vision, hearing, taste, smell, and touch.

• Checklists for home safety modifications—like proper lighting, adaptive kitchen tools, and assistive technologies.

• Communication strategies for loved ones with hearing or speech challenges.

• Daily living tips for mealtime, bathing, mobility, and sleep adjustments.

• Reflection exercises to help caregivers manage their own stress while adapting to their loved one’s changing needs.

Unlike generic medical guides, this workbook is written in plain language for caregivers, with easy worksheets you can use immediately.
