I have been in this field for close to 15 years. I came across your website initially because I was searching for a shared, personal forum with other professionals in my field that was not attached to random advertising and monthly fees. After discovering your website which hosted a forum that was exactly what I was looking for, as well as providing a mountain of resources that didn’t require you to follow several external links to get to, and to top it off no monthly recurring fee...Jackpot!

As suggested you could make your own
You could even have this resident help you once she is settled in
Maybe she can teach you sign language??
You could also use these bingo cards but not for playing bingo for talking about certain animals or whatever
