Testimonials

I’m still working on sleep anxiety, but I’ve gotten a little better at scheduling pleasant activities if I get all my work done…going tanning once/week. I’m continuing to use sign language a lot to jog my memory and block scheduling. I also bought a white board that I color code to help keep tasks organized so I don’t forget them and their timeline.

I got 4 baskets to sort out mail and was able to clean up an entire area in my apartment. I did not answer the phone during the times when I scheduled to work on this activity.

I was taking an Uber ride and practiced the rhyming names using the drivers name. It was neat how it worked.

Dinner conversations with my family have improved and I have not noticed the same uncomfortableness or awkwardness if I don’t know what someone is talking about. I don’t feel so defeated and am empowered by having options of how to manage the situation.

The HOBSCOTCH program was first evaluated as part of a study conducted at the Dartmouth-Hitchcock Epilepsy Center in New Hampshire. This study suggested that a self-management intervention can be effectively delivered over the telephone and evaluation demonstrated improved quality of life among participants.
