This 2 day Montessori for Dementia and Ageing training course, delivered by Anne Kelly from Maria Montessori Institute takes place on the 8^th & 9^th January 2025, 9.30am to 4.30pm at Hamptons, Chelmsford.

 

The goal of the Montessori approach is to support adults and people living with dementia by creating a prepared environment, filled with cues and memory supports, that enables individuals to care for themselves, others, and their community. 

 

On this course you will learn how to:

 

• Prepare environments where people facing challenges due to dementia, ageing or disability can still care for themselves and their community.
• Give individuals roles and activities tailored to their abilities, matching strengths, and abilities with personal history.
• Encourage independence, friendships, social connections and a sense of purpose.
• Develop routines that build confidence and self-esteem.
• Provide cues, prompts, materials and templates to support memory loss or other challenges.
• Use the approach for individuals or groups in residential care settings.
• Focus on the person, not the dementia, ageing or disability
