THE PRESENTER UTILIZED A HEALTHY MIX OFand FLOW BETWEEN GENERAL INFORMATION AND THE MORE SPECIFIC/ MORE COMPLEX INFORMATION C0VERED ON HER TOPIC. I ESPECIALLY ENJOYED THE DECADE BY DECADE DESCRIPTIONS OF THE NORMAL AGING CONTINUUM (the general information) AND THEN THE PLUNGE INTO SPECIFIC SCREENING AND ASSESSMENT TOOLS AND WHAT THEY MEASURED.. I ALSO THOUGHT THE CHARTS AND GRAPHS ILLUSTRATED AND CLARIFIED THE INFORMATION SHE WAS PRESENTING VERY WELL!
