Our interactive application of creative story supports:
¨ Reaching dementia/Alzheimer's sufferers through story creation that removes the pressure to remember, replaces it with stimulation of imagination, and encourages communication with fellow patients, caregivers, and family members.
¨ Providing connections between youth and dementia afflicted residents through Intergenerational Story Power, a program where youth are educated about senior citizens and dementia, and then assist with presentation of the program in care facilities.
¨ Advocating for those with cognitive challenges including Alzheimer’s/dementia, learning disability, or at risk youth.
¨ Inspiring counselors of 12-step programs with means to fortify strengths within the stories of the participants.
¨ Improving oral and written skills of children thereby building self-confidence and encouraging individual expression.
