Just read a bunch about delirium, dementia, amnesia, substance abuse, so taking a blogging break. It’s a habit I’m trying to catch: blog-as-study-break rather than blog-as-procrastination-tool.
Or tools–also made these: Therapy Worksheets (submit your worksheets!) and Therapy Books (bibliotherapy!). Plus each blog has its own Amazon store (test prep, worksheets, books). Plus there are Google Analytics traffic reports to chew on, plus share and subscribe buttons to add, plus…plus…plus.
Hitting pause. And, for better or worse, beginning to post more info, fewer links. In that new tradition, here’s a quick quiz. Define these:
- Aphasia
- Apraxia
- Agnosia
Hint: Each turns up in dementia, a loss of something. But what? Answer in comments.
