Event Description This workshop will explore how sensory stimulation techniques both within and outside of the Dance/Movement Therapy (DMT) session function as a catalyst for promoting wellness, improved cognition, and quality of life for individuals with a dementia diagnosis. During the interactive portion, participants will be guided through some movement sequences, as well as introduced to sensory items that may be used therapeutically with cognitively impaired elders. Various applications for this work as a complementary practice for this population, within both healthcare and community settings, will be discussed and explored. The hope is that this non-pharmacologic approach to dementia care may also yield new opportunities for collaboration among creative arts in therapy modalities and other holistic practices.
