Supporting Independence for People Living with Dementia
Hosted by the Alzheimer's Society Toronto.
This webinar will focus on how rehabilitation and technology can help people living with dementia stay at home longer and live more independently. While rehabilitation is often thought of as something that restores or improves abilities, it is just as important to maintain the abilities people already have. Keeping those skills can help individuals continue to do everyday tasks without needing extra support. We will also discuss how technology can assist people living with dementia in completing daily tasks, staying safe, and reducing the risk of falls. Topics will include the use of self-cueing, exercises to improve balance, and even video games that can help with rehabilitation.
We will also share information about two studies looking at how technology and games are being used to make rehabilitation more effective for people living with dementia.
