Hi Janet, Every facility has their own policies regarding students. Usually, all volunteers, student or adults, after induction are to be supervised for a couple of weeks. It is better to start them assisting staff with activities until they get to know the residents and perhaps meet one they would like to spend more time together as in IPP.
This website has been such a tremendous asset to me in providing such great ideas. The clients have enjoyed the picture bingo, quizzes and I am looking forward to doing word ladders with them for the first time very soon. I also print out crosswords and word searches and make up booklets for them to do in their rooms. I will be definitely rejoining.
