Reviews
"Look out, Sudoku! Keep Your Brain Stronger for Longer offers a fantastic tool to help people exercise their brain--and will be greatly appreciated and well received by those with MCI as well as those caring for them. It also helps us to understand that cognition is affected by much more than just memory loss, and goes a long way to help dispel some of the myths and stigmas associated with dementia. Kudos for pulling together such a great resource!"
