"Today’s Brain Life is a must for all seniors, educators and caregivers in senior services. Using sound educational research and creative presentation, this DVD series provides scientific explanation and historical background in areas of shared knowledge for seniors. Further, it provides follow-up exercises that link long-time memory of aphorisms, history, and games in memorable, new ways that promote growth in brain function. Employing educational techniques of repetition, mnemonic devices, musical and verbal, visual and theatrical presentation of information, and scientific explanation, Mary Frances has created an ingenious approach to brain stimulation."
