We at Creative Story Project have identified the importance of story and its various aspects,
focusing on its relevance to life issues and its power as an agent of change.
focusing on its relevance to life issues and its power as an agent of change.
Spring is rapidly approaching and with it, flowers, birds, blue skies and warm breezes. The lovely people we work with also perk up as the weather gets brighter and the days get longer.
The stories they write become lighter with a brightness that must come from the sun. So go out and enjoy the beauty of nature, have new and exciting experiences, and share them with others. Make memories. Live memories. For yourself and others. "Everyone likes birds. What wild creature is more accessible to our eyes and ears, as close to us and everyone in the world, as universal as a bird?" - -David Attenborough Our interactive application of creative story is designed primarily to assist those with Alzheimer's or other forms of dementia, but it also serves others with learning challenges or cognitive issues.

NOTE: A brief word about photos. Most of the photos shown on this site were taken by Joyce Vanderpool or submitted by others with permission for their use. If you have "silly" pictures that you might feel are appropriate to create simple stories, we would love to have you send them to us as a jpg email attachment. Pictures including animals or small children (permission required) are the best stimulants for the less cognitive mind. Thank you.

Intergenerational Story Power doing strong.
Students thoroughly enjoy learning about aging, the elderly, and Alzheimer's/dementia. And they really enjoy creating a "sample" story using a silly picture. The kids love the seniors, and the seniors love the kids! It's a win/win situation. If you have a group of students who would like to serve their community in a unique way, please contact us. Take three minutes to see what we do with Alzheimer's patients. Click on the icon in the lower right corner of the video screen to enlarge the view.
