Snoezelen Rooms and Sensory Environments for Dementia Care

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.

How to Communicate with Body Language

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.
