TTAP Method Featured at the Society on Arts in Healthcare, April 28- May 1, 2010
The TTAP Method was featured at the Washington State Alzheimer's Conference in Seattle on April 17, 2010.
Two different sessions were given to the participating conference attendees- The first session designed for Therapists and Health care employees illustrated how the structured 9 step process enhances socialization by naturally increasing opportunities for reminiscing about memories which are not forgotten in the first two stages of the disease process (which has been proven in 8 published studies). Participants learned about the CCEDERS ™ approach which stands for the 6 remaining strengths the person diagnosed with AD still has : Communication abilities, desires to Connect to others, wants to Express themselves, can Recall and Self express through the creative arts.
The second session was designed for family members and caregivers, there is a new publication the TTAP Method for Caregivers, which has sold out in the first publication. Caregivers learned how to utilize household items and other objects of significant interest to stimulate conversation, thus keeping the person mentally active and engaged which has been researched to be imperative for continued cognitive reserve. The featured movie clip illustrates how participants learn to share memories long forgotten through the TTAP Method.
