Sparking Memories:
The Alzheimer's Poetry Project Anthology
It is our strong desire that this book be of use to you. This toolbox for family members, activity directors and artists contains 65 of the poems we use in the project, easy tips on how to use the poems and essays on why caregiving matters and on the medical implications of using poetry with dementia. The book takes you step by step through the methods and techniques we have developed on using poetry to help you connect to people navigating memory loss.
The APP helps with more than memory;
the program also promotes participants’ self-esteem and social skills.
