The Veterans Home in Finland using the TTAP Method



In these photos are war veterans that are experiencing the TTAP Method. They have a machine that makes sounds that are commonly heard, such as birds chirping and dogs barking. They are listening to animal noises and talking about the memories that the sounds bring back. One of the bird sounds reminded one veteran of a song they used to sing in the war. He begins to sing and soon enough all the men in the group are singing as well. He knows every word to the song and it was from so long ago, but just one sound triggered something in his long term memory and it was as if he was actually back in his war times.
