Dementia

cognitive stimulation for dementia

What is it?

Dementia describes a range of cognitive symptoms that affect daily living. Dementia is commonly associated with the elderly, as memory and other thinking skills start to decline in old age or after a brain injury. Depending on the severity of dementia, some symptoms may be improved. With the right non-pharmaceutical therapy, you can help your patient “re-wire” their brain to help them compensate in daily life.

What can be done for dementia patients?

Studies show that occupational therapy shows great success for dementia patients struggling with cognitive impairments impacting their daily lives.

A study by the Official Journal of the American Academy of Neurology found that:

 Reactivating occupational rehabilitation (memory training, manual/creative activities, improving sensorimotor functions, and self-management therapy) proved more efficient in improving cognitive performance, psychosocial functioning, emotional balance, and subjective well-being than functional rehabilitation (functional occupational therapy, physiotherapy, and speech therapy). 

Our tool provides a non-stressful environment for your patients through online occupational therapy activities that can be used with dementia patients. We know that not all patients are the same, and that each patient experiences different levels of complications. For this reason, we have incorporated a unique range of difficulty so that all patients can be successful at their own speeds.
