"Dr. Bourgeois has translated the latest scientific findings on using visual cues as memory aids into concrete and practical guidance for caregivers in multiple settings. This "how to" book is a major contribution to improving the everyday lives of persons with memory problems."
-Cornelia Beck, Ph.D., R.N., F.A.A.N., Louise Hearne Chair in Dementia & Long-Term Care, and Director, Pat & Willard Walker Family Memory Research Center, University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences

"An immediate bridge to improving quality of life for persons with memory problems who live in a variety of settings. Not only are the ideas creative, validated, and functional, they are presented in ways that make them instantly accessible to clinicians and to caregivers. For those who care about helping persons to live well with memory disorders, Memory Books and Other Graphic Cuing Systems is a must-read, and a must-apply."
-Audrey L. Holland, Ph.D., Regents' Professor Emerita, University of Arizona

"This book is truly amazing. It should be required reading for any professional interacting with persons who have memory impairments, and it will be an outstanding resource for family members and lay caregivers. Easy to read, with information and step-by-step instructions that are ready for immediate use, this book is simply the best practical guide on the use of memory aids available today."
-Cameron J. Camp, Ph.D., Director and Senior Research Scientist, Myers Research Institute of Menorah Park Center for Senior Living

"Memory Books and Other Graphic Cuing Systems is unique in its blend of theory with practical considerations … [the] examples of content and style of various systems will help professionals apply the information to their own situations … a necessary and immensely useful resource that will be accessed time and again by clinicians and caregivers interacting with adults who have memory impairments."
-Tammy Hopper, Ph.D., Assistant Professor, Faculty of Rehabilitation Medicine, Department of Speech Pathology and Audiology, The University of Alberta
