I am starting a Dementia program and will use part of a dining room. I want to separate what the Activity Director does and use therapy treatment in a program. I am an Occupational Therapist looking to demonstrate a program in 7 facilities. I am open for all suggestions.
This is wonderful. I am an Occupational Therapist and I work in LTC. Dementia is my specialty. I just became a member. Body Language is everything. It is very difficult when a dementia client with very limited verbal language, is trying to speak to you. You must understand their body language, so they feel included, understood and comfortable.
"I am thankful for all that you share with our Activity Coordinator community! I also like that we can help each other out by sharing our creative ideas and post in the Forum's and get feedback from other members! Thank you!"
