| Kathy McHale, M.Ed., |
| Founder, Technology For Memory And Organization, Needham, MA; author, The Resource Guide to Assistive Technology For Memory & Organization (2003). "Get organized!" was the advice of our April speaker, but that's often easier said than done. Toward this end, ADD adults have turned to a variety of devices -- high-tech and low-tech -- to help keep themselves on track. We wish to thank Boston-area consultant, trainer and author Kathy McHale for her presentation. She recommended several web sites to help us decide what technology resources to use. |
