Enterprising Parent Publishes Memory-Boosting Books

Roy G. Biv. HOMES. Every Good Boy Does Fine. If you've used those tricks to remind you of the colors on the spectrum, the names of the Great Lakes, or treble-clef notes, you've had some experience with mnemonics -- memory-sticking phrases or acronyms that remind us of important info. High-school teacher Jim Sarris had used them for years to help his students remember math facts and Spanish verbs, and when he saw his developmentally delayed son struggling to focus and remember, he tailored the technique to fit those special needs.

The online business Sarris set up to market his "Memory Skills Made Easy" program, Alacan Publishing, is the latest addition to our gallery of Enterprising Parents, moms and dads who have gone into business to share their solutions with others. Learn more about Alacan's origins and offerings with a Special-Needs Business Profile, then share in the inspiration provided by the other parent enterprises featured.
