I am helping to create a grass roots program that will help the memory impaired to communicate, even when speech becomes a problem. We do it through the art of collaging images we see in magazines. As part of our training programs we are teaching caregivers how to see and feel as they do, using imagery! We believe that sensory depravation is a problem and want to address it. We want to hear from anyone who can help us further our work-loneliness is frustration, and we believe we can prevent it!
