In a world where the prevalence of dementia is on the rise, the need for knowledge and compassionate understanding becomes ever more crucial. Many of us are familiar with the term Montessori as it applies to education but only a few of us are familiar with the application of Montessori methods for Dementia and Ageing.
As an innovative method of working with older adults living with cognitive and/or physical impairments, Montessori has the potential to change the lives of people in care communities and enhance the lives of people in their own homes. Montessori for Dementia and Ageing is based on the educational philosophies of famed childhood educator Dr. Maria Montessori. Her philosophy and principles were discovered to be effective for all people at all ages.
In this workshop Atika Latifi will explore the Montessori approach to Dementia helping you to gain a deeper understanding of the principles that underpin this approach providing holistic and person-centered care for those living with dementia.
