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.
