The book is divided into three sections. The first half is theory and instruction, intended to help the user put into action the second half of the book, i.e. activity work sheets on eight themes. The themes are given picture-word names easy for children to remember. For example, Theme II is Who Am I or Rubies, while Theme VII, Solving Problems is Rainbows. Each theme section begins with learning objectives and ends with additional activities to expand further on the theme if needed or desired. The book concludes with six appendices designed to assist the therapist and other adults to augment the therapy sessions. A subject index allows the user to find specific topics easily.
