Great tool to help combat dementia
"Susan Bergs' flash cards that accompany her new book are awesome. They were instrumental in my daily interaction and work with the elderly population. As a new student of Occupational Therapy, the flash cards were also very educational and a great tool to help combat dementia. I would highly recommend them in addition to the wonderful book!"
