Bonny Eagle Adult Education

Please join Alexandria Velez for an interactive journey into the mind of someone with Alzheimer's & other Dementia related diseases. This session is designed to assist participants in gaining a better understanding of how physical challenges, that may come with natural aging, may affect the day-to-day activities of a person who is diagnosed with memory loss. We will address physical challenges and provide tools for helping individuals with cognitive loss stay connected and comfortable as they work through tasks. Participants who volunteer will have the opportunity to experience a simulation where they will be given tasks to complete. The session wraps up with a group discussion about the experience, offering the opportunity to share what they’ve learned and how to incorporate the Join My Journey experience into everyday life. Choose the session you want online. No discounts.
