This review is from: Therapeutic Activities With Persons Disabled by Alzheimer's Disease and Related Disorders (Hardcover)

The author provides an overview of the impairments that result from Alzheimer's Diease and related dementias and gives the reader some step-by-step methods for program planning. While the book is intended for use in AD programming, it can be useful in any setting for the Activities Coordinator, Occupational Therapist or Recreation Leader. I recommend this book to adult day services, such as adult day care center, adult day health care programs, and mental health day treatment programs. It can provide as a wonderful planning tool for the less experienced activities director.
