Kurzaktivierungen

Short and regular - these are the basic rules for using short activations with people with dementia. While short-term memory declines in individuals with dementia, content from long-term memory is much more present. Topics that evoke memories are particularly well-suited: gardening, vacations, hobbies, washing, cooking, driving, seasonal themes, and much more. They spark curiosity, awaken associations, and motivate storytelling. Short activations can - and should - be applied daily, whether in individual work or in groups. Repetitions also have a positive effect and provide participants with a sense of security. The 'Growing Old Together Edition' is a collection of the most beautiful stories and activity ideas from the two authors of Mal-alt-werden.de, Natali Mallek and Annika Schneider. Other titles in this series include 'Stories for Movement', 'Stories for Reading Aloud and Singing Along', 'Interactive Poems', and 'Rhyme Puzzles'.
