Summary:
"Follow Tom and Karen Brenner as they help people living with dementia, their families and caregivers navigate this challenging condition using techniques first developed by Maria Montessori. This positive and inspiring book values the person being cared for and offers methods and strategies to engage them and help families and caregivers connect. In Montessori pedagogy, the prepared environment is key to unlocking the spirit within, and to do so, it must call out to individual needs with attention to beauty and aesthetics and an appeal to all of the senses. When constructed carefully and thoughtfully, the prepared environment inspires spontaneity and allows for joyful integration of the self with the world in purposeful ways. In their work with those with dementia and Alzheimers, the Brenners used prepared environments with Montessori materials with profoundly encouraging results. Just as a Montessori child through manipulation of materials in the prepared environment achieves discovery of the world, so, too, the elder population through manipulation of materials achieve discovery of the world that was once theirs, spontaneously, unpredictably, and delightfully"--Provided by publisher.
