Websites

These are different sites that have good information, and have been recommended by others. Check back often as I will be adding them as I go along.

• http://www.bonusfamilies.com/ This is a great site to help divorced, separated, and step-families to learn how to handle situations concerning the children and give them a healthy childhood.
• http://www.juliemorgenstern.com This is a great site for organizing your life.
• www.amenclinic.com This is a super site for looking at actual brain scans of healthy and unhealthy brains.
• http://challenging-our-minds.com/ – Challenging Our Minds runs over the internet in your web browser. It is designed as a thinking skills enhancement program for all children (our research included impaired, average and gifted children) from third grade on up but it could be used for adults with cognitive impairment or even those adult individuals who just want to enhance their cognitive skills. The Albert Einstein speaker is a bit dated, but do not let that keep you away. These are fun and evidenced-based.
• http://www.twisted-mindgames.com/ – A great site where you can get apps for cognitive skill enhancement.
• My Brain Solutions – A good site for apps that help build facial recognition and social skills. This could be very helpful for the Asperger’s child or teen. Adults can benefit as well.
• SMART Recovery – A great sight for those wishing to overcome addictions. It is a cognitive-behavioral/ Rational-Emotive Alternative to AA/NA. This is NOT moderate drinking. Like AA, abstinence is the goal. This approach works well with any addictive type behavior including gambling, shopping, and eating addictions.
• Smoking Cessation App – great app for quitting and staying quit.
