This lady possesses some very valuable skills by the sounds of it. Could you ask her to write for you? If she could compose a talk or speech that staff could then deliver to others, this would surely make this lady feel valued? How is her memory? Could she write about her own life and past experiences? Its sounds as though she would have some interesting tales to tell after years of lecturing/teaching. Ask her about it. Ask her about the highs and lows, the funny and the sad. If necessary, Take dictation and write it for her. Do a little each day, giving time to look forward to tomorrow. It will give opportunity for creative thinking for her and an avenue to express her thoughts. Hope this is helpful
I just have to tell you that your word search puzzles are perfect! The right font, print - everything. You even add a little picture on them that adds interest. You've really improved on them and I am eternally grateful. So are my clients!
