Idag ägnar vi oss åt en hel annan åldersgrupp, de äldre. Och framförallt äldre med någon form av demens. Visste ni att det går att applicera Montessoripedaogik på demensvården? Jag har samtalat med Jennifer Brush och Anne Kelly som är engagerade i Montessori for Dementia, Disability and Ageing, ett projekt som drivs av Association Montessori Internationale (AMI). De beskriver så fint hur det fungerar och nu sitter jag här och önskar att alla som är inblandade i demensvård kunde få lite fortbildning i detta förhållningssätt.

Making a Positive Impact on People with Dementia
Original Date: November 18, 2020
The coronavirus pandemic has created significant challenges for those living with dementia. This is especially true for residents with dementia in senior living communities. So while it’s important for all of us to acknowledge COVID-19’s impact on our personal and professional lives, we can’t forget our patients.
As dementia progresses, memories of facts and the ability to process complex thoughts fade; but feelings such as happiness, love, frustration, and sensing respect remain. The best “treatment” we have for dementia is socialization and elimination of boredom. Learn how to go about this.
This webinar provides:
- Evidence-based strategies for engaging people with dementia in a meaningful, person-centered way
- Keys to creating a dementia-friendly environment and supporting older adult independence
We are joined by Jennifer Brush, M.A., CCC-SLP, a Fulbright Specialist and award-winning dementia care author and consultant. Jennifer is on a mission to put the focus of care on the person’s preferences, interests, and abilities.
