TimeSlips Improves Students' Attitudes Toward Older Adults in Service Learning
"TimeSlips is an evidence-based, patient-centered approach well suited to address challenges in the preparation of Communication Sciences and Disorders students to work with the growing population of older adults."
Creative Expression (CE) Therapy Benefits Elderly Chinese with Dementia
"This study provides preliminary evidence that CE therapy developed in the study benefits elderly Chinese with dementia. The findings indicated that non-pharmacological intervention programs – CE therapy – can be applied in the management of neuropsychiatric symptoms of dementia."
Generativity in Creative Storytelling: Evidence From a Dementia Care Community
"The findings reveal generative identities held by persons living with dementia, which help destigmatize dementia. The findings also shed light on why creative group storytelling may affect multiple positive outcomes for its participants."
Testimonials
Our trainees explain the joy of creative engagement.
The biggest high point for me is, I have one resident that doesn't come out of her room much, so I do a room visit with her and when I visit she will ask me if I brought a story picture. Storytelling has helped bring her out of her shell, and it's something that she enjoys.
- Joyce W.; Activity Director, Ladysmith Care & Rehabilitation, Ladysmith, WI
Oh my goodness - the JOY and DELIGHT of the whole shared creative process is so uplifting - who can stop smiling? It affects everyone and ripples out.
- Victoria Orlando, Certified Facilitator, Bridgewater, NJ
One of the participants proudly stated ‘I can’t remember, but here I can imagine’, which I found an incredibly moving testament to the power of this programme.
- Laura Menzies, Certified Facilitator, Falmouth, England
Having a master trainer to work directly with has been a real gift.
