The radio has a long and productive history for communication. “Radio waves” were identified by German physicist Heinrich Randolph Hertz in 1886 (hence, the measurement ‘mega hertz’) and Guglielmo Marconi followed when he invented the wireless telegraph in 1900. Evolving into the device we know today, the radio has served as a medium for human communication in many amazing and useful ways. The radio acts as a tool for information, entertainment, and a realization that the radio can be fascinating from a different perspective.

Understanding Cognitive Rehab
“A person living with early stage Alzheimer’s told my Serper Method™ work group that the program gave him hope. Wanting to protect him, I cautioned, ‘At the same time, we don't want to give false hope.’
“The student chastised me and strongly disagreed. He said, ‘Even though I might have only a month to live, because I was given hope, then that will cause me to live the last 30 days and not die the last 30 days.’
“I understood: I guess that sums up Cognitive Rehab – helping people live with this disease.”
~ E. V., Alzheimer Association Chapter Program Director, Dayton, OH
