One of our participants is blind and is in a wheelchair bound. I am sending activities to some of our families to do due to us being closed since March from COVID. But I am looking for some activities that I can send home to him. Any ideas?

Hi Dawn

How nice of you to think of this client

Does this client live alone

Does this client live alone??

Even if he does live alone I am sure there are people who come in to check on him periodically

So you could send things that they could do together such as trivia??

Does this person like to sing because you could send a song book that he and his caregiver could share??

Hopefully this person was seen by someone from the commission for the blind because they provide items that blind people can use such as a tape player or a talking clock??

If this person has a tape player maybe you can send a message on tape

You could send some sensory items that could be shared with the caregiver such as meditation instruction

Do you know what this person does to occupy his time??

You may be able to adapt and modify some things

I just LOVE the multicultural section of this fabulous website. I work as a Activities Director at a day service facility and we are currently closed due to COVID! I am mailing/delivering personalized packages to our clients. We have clients of many different cultures and ethnic backgrounds. Adding pages of color-printed information from their country really brightens their day. The family members/care givers are delighted to see a spark in their loved ones eyes when they see and read about their history. I am becoming so educated myself learning all this. It will help me when we get back to work striking a spark in our clients eye when I reminisce with them about their culture. I seriously can NOT get enough of this fantastic site. xoxo :-)
