Interactive Picture Book Offers New Ways to Connect
Today's media coverage of Alzheimer's disease centers on finding a cure. Painfully little attention goes toward what can be done for the growing number of individuals who currently live with the disease. It is fairly safe to say that a cure will never be developed in their lifetimes. How can we make a difference for them now?
Health Professions Press has published, Let's Look Together: An Interactive Picture Book for People with Alzheimer's and Other Forms of Memory Loss by Rae-Lynn Cebul Ziegler, OTR, to provide a resource
that can be used today with people who have Alzheimer's. Using evocative, sensory-stimulating images, this picture book for adults is to be shared between a family or professional caregiver and a person with memory loss to encourage meaningful emotional connections and conversations that, simultaneously, produce therapeutic brain stimulation.
