I love the attention being brought to non-pharmaceutical approaches to dementia, and appreciate the differentiation of language relying on memory (which can be stressful for the individual), versus providing opportunities for creative storytelling.

I am all for a more holistic treatment of patients with dementia instead of turning to drugs. I use music in my treatment sessions and have seen first hand the difference it can make in my patients' lives. This course described other options that could be useful, such as poetry therapy and TS therapy.

In reading the transcript of this course I found it very easy to relate to the non-pharmacological treatments. I'm 75 years of age and do notice some short term memory loss in myself, but as I stated above, I have multiple friends who are exhibiting symptoms and wanted to know more about this subject. My main focus in my career has been in the areas of school based therapy and home health for pediatric patients. This was an excellent course and presented in a way that gives me ideas I can use personally in my daily living. I love all of the non-pharmacological treatments, music, reading, story telling, etc. This has been an excellent course for me!

I like the idea of use creative story telling, to work on expressive language without increasing the difficulty by demanding use of memory at the same time. I can see myself using familiar music and creative narratives in cognitive-linguistic speech therapy. Not so sure about the poetry and dance part.

by
Mary
on
April 23, 2020
This affirmed all that I did for both of my parents when they struggled with (a) Parkinson's - my Mom and (b) late onset mild dementia - my Dad. I used singing from my Mother's song book at her bedside daily, she was a past church pianist, she loved when I did this and in her late stage of living she could still sing along with me even though she was non communicative with spontaneous speech. I used the narrative story telling activities with my Dad, as he was raised in the Appalachian Mountains in the early 1900's and so he was able to still tell with great detail his life there. I am so happy to know these techniques are being researched!!

I loved that this article really emphasized nontraditional, creative activities and materials that incorporated creativity and tapped into right hemisphere function (e.g., music). The information is a breath of fresh air when compared to traditional methods that I've heard before. This was so interesting, and the authors really tried to incorporate research to the best of their ability. Great job!

I enjoyed reviewing the non-pharmacological interventions for dementia. However, I found the article lacking in detail and examples. It would have been useful to know which maladaptive behaviors were improved most by different interventions, or for what duration was improvement noticed following intervention. Perhaps this information is not yet available as these interventions need further research?I do think these non-pharmacological interventions are promising and much needed as the Baby Boomer generation ages. Hopefully research into them will continue.
No more reviews to load.
