Cassandra's Blog: November 2013

This blog is mainly about e-learning. You may find the following resources helpful, or you may have some of your own to share.
I like to use technology with my clients and as much as I can, I provide therapeutic assignments that they can do online. I will continue to build on my resources to help others share their thoughts and create small skits, writings, or art work that will depict their views and hopefully help others as well. If you want to read more about therapeutic stuff and my thoughts on things, then you can check out my cassology blog. Which is mainly my thoughts on how people cope, function, and survive.
Combining technology with therapy, broadening the horizon and helping people cope with change.
