The BEST Suite is four apps in one: Brain, Education, Strategies, Technology. Developed for individuals with brain injury by Michelle Wild, Brain Education Strategies and Technology, Inc., the app is not as intensive and expensive as MyBionicBrain. This budget-friendly app can be downloaded to an Apple smartphone or iPad.
Using the BEST can:
  • Improve initiation, time management, and self-esteem
  • Establish a sense of life balance and greater independence
  • Increase confidence by building on little successes
  • Recognize strategies that will work for the user
  • Boost overall productivity
  • Gain control of daily life
Four components of the app are:
Pace My Day, Reach My Goals, Strategize My Life, and Complete My To Do's. Learn more.
BEST offers self-paced, easy, online training (including videos) for the apps that are recommended. These trainings are specially designed for people with brain disorders who are using the apps as cognitive prosthetics. They connect important cognitive skills (like categorization or identifying relevant and irrelevant information) that you use in everyday life to the application of those same skills in operating the apps. It is called the Making Cognitive Connections approach.

SPECIAL FOR PROFESSIONALS
The app is $14.99, until the end of 2020 the cost is only $9.99. This is a great opportunity to try this app out in its entirety! This app would benefit anyone with a schedule that they need to keep or tasks that they need to do!
CueMyList is a checklist app that includes the ability to create a cueing system based on assigned time for each item with the checklist. 

December is CueMyList month, BEST would like to invite you to a webinar series to learn more.
