Hi Pam, I don't know what country you are from but I have found going to the country and visiting animals, touching of there coats and feeding horses etc. The smell of them brings back those sences that are sometimes lost. the other trips I do is taking them to the seaside and walking or just touching the sand. Walking in the water or just being near the sea watching the waves, birds etc. Going to a lake and having a picnic, Watching kids preform at a school as in nz we can take them to watch the choir, orchestra playing. Going to a museum with the arts as all these can bring back their inabitions of past experiences. If you like I can send you some things. Thanks Debbie
