Meaningful interaction and engagement for people with dementia

Our Meaningful Interaction and Engagement in Dementia Course looks at how we can provide meaningful interaction and positive engagement for people living with dementia, through all stages.

We understand that some skills may deteriorate during dementia, but our focus is this: we want to look at the skills the person has retained, rather than what they haven’t. We incorporate this into person-centred planning and adapt the persons activities/engagements to suit their abilities and skills, through all stages of dementia. We can help adapt activities to suit the persons needs and help learners to understand the importance of promoting positive engagement and wellbeing.
