What You'll Learn
Reminiscence is a way to recapture the past and connect to the present's daily lives. It involves not only the discussion of memories and experiences with other people using tangible prompts such as photographs, objects, music, art, immersive technology, but also involves the re-enactment of past events to trigger their half-forgotten memories to bring about joy and laughter. Reminiscence is an effective way to engage with older persons, their family members and friends. It can stimulate verbal and non-verbal communication, promote confidence and self-esteem for those who participated in the activity, especially person with dementia.
