WHAT WE’LL COVER
This session will help learners develop and offer activity programs that are appropriate and effective when residents have various degrees of cognitive impairment. Emphasis will be placed on providing the
skills needed to determine the remaining abilities and interests of individuals living with dementia, and then selecting activities that promote interaction and engagement while reducing distress and isolation.
The session will build observation skills and the ability to use simple, inexpensive tasks and materials to help residents feel productive and involved.
