Who it is for

An adult who finds it hard to say how they feel right now, for example after a stroke, with aphasia or with dementia, and the family at home.

How it works

  1. Keep the chart where you can both see it and reach it.
  2. Ask "How are you feeling?", then wait while the person looks and points.
  3. Check back ("Worried? Yes?"), then ask how much and what would help on the Right now page.
  4. Type your own feeling words into the blank chart before you print.
