                             Person with Dementia:
                         How Music Supports Personhood

     Have you ever wondered how a dementia client’s needs could be better met and how they could
have a higher quality of life? Or, maybe you have struggled to “connect” with him/her? In this
workshop, you will have the opportunity to learn how the modality of music can provide benefits in all
of the areas of functioning affected by dementia, including the following:

            The Brain/Cognition                               Emotional Health
            Physical Health                                   Spirituality
            Basic Daily Functioning                           Personal Identity
            Family & Social Life

When combined, these elements will help you to better understand your clients as individuals and to
see how music can help to bring out the “hidden person” in the client with dementia. Interactive
musical experiences will also be included throughout the day.
