Grit To Grid
EMPOWERING PROGRESS, ONE PAGE at a time
Workbooks
I created Grit To Grid out of necessity to assist a former client of mine who had grown tired of his daily games. Word searches, once a favorite, had become a challenge. Grit To Grid creates structured, cognitive-friendly activity for individuals who benefit from clear layouts, repetition, and low-pressure engagement.
Each book features large print, predictable formatting, and calm visual design to support focus, confidence, and independent success.
Grit To Grid is thoughtfully designed for individuals with different processing speeds, memory challenges and attention needs- and is widely used in dementia care, brain injury recovery, and adult developmental disability settings.

About Me
Hello, I am Krystle. I have always enjoyed helping others whether it be in the capacity of a case manager or dementia practitioner. With a bachelor's in psychology and a master's in human service counseling, I have dedicated my life to supporting people who often feel overlooked, unheard, and forgotten.
I have seen firsthand how meaningful activities- simple, clear and dignified can calm the mind, ease frustration, and reconnect families. That is why I create cognitive friendly tools that feel gentle, comforting and accessible.Every product I make is designed with love, patience, and deep respect for the people and caregivers who use them. This work means everything to me. I am grateful to be part of your care journey.
My work is also shaped by my own experience with hemiplegic migraines - episodes that temporarily affect speech, movement, and cognitive clarity. When I have these moments, I reflect on how essential caregivers are with patience for those they care for. Grit To Grid was created with that understanding at its core.
