Using Children's Literature with Dementia Patients By Andy Fisher
When Residents No Longer Can Read or Recognize Loved Ones, Create Picture Books By: • Make Each Book a Theme • Using a 3 Ring binder • Construction Paper • Glue Pictures from Magazine • Family Photos
Themes: • Cats • Dogs • Children • Flowers • Trains • Etc.
If you have a resident who mentions a certain topic over and over, develop a book for that topic. For example, if the resident was a sailor and speaks a lot about boats develop a picture book of boats and sailing.
A Promise In Every Color by Kelli Glancey I Am In Charge of Celebrations by Byrd Baylor Taking a Walk by Rebecca Emberley The Garden by Elsie V. Aidinoff Some Good Examples
