Unlike many Alzheimer’s activities books aimed at caregivers, “Joggin’ Your Noggin” trivia and word games are designed to be completed by a person in mild to moderate stages, independently or with some support. Written by a Speech and Language Pathologist, the series offers an opportunity not only for fun, entertainment and a sense of accomplishment, but also for essential mental stimulation. “Complete the Song Title,” “Name the Opposite,” “Picture the Description” and “Fill in the Blank” are but a few examples.

Activities professionals will find a wealth of ready-made content to incorporate into group activities. The level of difficulty, based on vocabulary, varies from the simplest in Volume I to the most advanced in Volume IV. Answers are readily accessible on the following page or at the back of the book. Each volume contains over 70 games and is sold at a more affordable price than similar Alzheimer's books.

A book that highlights significant world events over fifty years, this "Joggin' Your Noggin" aims to stimulate fond memories. Reflecting on the past can be a source of joy, not only for those with dementia, but for many others, especially as they approach their "golden years." Milestones include historical, technological, scientific and social happenings related to inventions, politics, songs, famous musicians, TV/movie stars, food, fashion and more. Fill-in-the-blank questions provide readers a chance to "jog their noggins," and answers are conveniently provided on the reverse of each page. But the more important benefit is simply to recall the past and arouse "warm and fuzzy" feelings. Connecting an event to a memorable personal experience may evoke positive emotions. The book offers countless opportunities to reflect, reminisce, and hopefully create moments of joy. Seniors may also enjoy large-group discussions of historical milestones and sharing fond memories. Activities professionals in assisted living facilities or nursing homes may find "Joggin" a useful resource when creating trivia and word games for seniors.
The author's mother, Helen, matriarch of a family of 4 children and their 20 offspring. Her progression of Alzheimer's meant increasing difficulty with word finding and understanding the language of books, magazines and TV. But Helen continued to enjoy simple moments like sorting buttons and doing jigsaw puzzles!
The author, a retired speech-language pathologist, knew that her mom always loved word games. It was only natural that she began engaging Helen in a variety of activities to improve word recall. Lo and behold! Helen enjoyed her success and had so much fun! When the author searched the internet for more Alzheimer's activities, she was surprised to find so few. Thus, the "Joggin' Your Noggin" series evolved.
Many positive reviews appear on websites like "Amazon" and "Goodreads." Readers, caregivers, and activities professionals alike have found the books to be fun, entertaining, and useful. A few recent comments:
