What lies behind the exercises
An exercise sheet says what to do. These articles say why, how often, and what to do when it does not work.
Fine motor skills: buttons, handwriting, zips

Much of it can be done independently again with a changed order and a few adaptations. This text shows the ways that have proved themselves, as a collection of possibilities rather than a set of rules.

Cognitive training: memory, concentration, planning
After a stroke, a brain haemorrhage or an accident with a head injury, something often remains that nobody can see. Concentration does not hold out, and a piece of work that was begun gets stuck halfway. This text explains what is practised against that and what such practice demonstrably achieves.
