Author Biography
A Speech-Language Pathologist with over twenty years experience providing therapy to students with difficulties in communication. Recently retired, Ms. Randolph's interests have turned to helping seniors whose memory and word recall skills are challenged. Through personal experience with family members and friends in mild to moderate stages of Alzheimer's Disease, Ms. Randolph discovered a remarkable paucity of puzzles, games and books geared toward this population. Responding to that void, she wrote and published the entertaining and stimulating word games presented in the Joggin' Your Noggin series. She sincerely hopes that her books will provide many hours of pleasurable activity and enrich the lives of all who use them.
