Persons with dementia often experience increased incidence of depression and behavioral problems due to a lack of stimulation. This workshop will address the need for positive stimulation in persons living with dementia and identify a variety of activities that may be used to promote cognitive stimulation at varying levels of the disease. Several activities will be illustrated as part of the workshop. This workshop is appropriate for family members, caregivers, and professionals working with aging adults.
