This program will explore how we can retrieve memories by using our senses.  We will look at how “triggers” can open stored memories in a person with Alzheimer’s disease and how this process will improve the quality of life for those affected by the disease.  By looking at what triggers memories for us we can begin to use this technique with those who have the disease.

•  At the end of this educational session the learner will be able to explain the importance of an in depth social history when working with someone with dementia.
