Persons with dementia need cognitive stimulation, along with opportunities to successfully and meaningfully interact with their physical and social environments on a regular basis. These persons have needs similar to those without cognitive impairment: the need to feel self-worth, the need to express one's thoughts and feelings, the need to have a sense of belonging, the need to have a sense of accomplishment, and the need to have a sense of order. Many of the problems associated with dementia can be traced to the inability to meet these needs. This manual provides stimulating, interesting, and challenging activities that can be performed successfully as a means of helping persons with dementia. This manual was edited by Cameron J. Camp, Ph.D., psychologist and senior reserch scientist at Myers Research Institute, Beachwood, Ohio. He and his staff have been successfully implementing these activities in individual and small group activities.

It makes sense!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Montessori-Based Activities for Persons with Dementia (Spiral-bound)
Of course! It makes complete sense. These activities have woken up the minds of the people I work with who can no longer keep up with "regular" programing. It is success every time. I love it, a great book for anyone who work with dementia of any type!

This very necessary book fills a large gap in dementia activities care. The activities are very helpful to stimulating demented adults and build their self-esteem.

A Wonderful , Useful and Powerful Resource!,
By Jacqueline Marcell "Author, Speaker, Radio Host" (Irvine, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Montessori-Based Activities for Persons with Dementia (Spiral-bound)
If you are caring for a loved one with dementia, you MUST read this book! It is such a learning process to be able to care, communicate and incorporate activities for dementia patients, but Dr. Camp guides and shows you the way. And once you understand his brilliant methods, you'll be amazed that they make so much sense and they are really so simple to do. His methods will save you sanity! Dr. Camp has been a welcomed regular guest on my Internet radio program, 'Coping with Caregiving', and I always enjoy learning creative techniques and tips. Take advantage of his many years of research and experience and don't miss this book!
