Sensory Modulation: Working with people with Dementia

Understand and assess the sensory needs of people with dementia, and learn how to implement sensory modulation-based approaches for enriched care.

Drawing on Tina Champagne’s Sensory Modulation Program, this book explains sensory-processing issues specific to older populations and highlights the importance of self-organisation and meaningful participation in life activities.

This book also provides a downloadable assessment tool to help review individual sensory-processing patterns. It includes a range of sensory-based activities which can be carried out with people at all stages of dementia, both with individuals and in groups. The book also provides recommendations for modifying physical environments to make care settings sensory-enriched. #885
