REMINISCENCES KIT – AZ.2240

The process of recalling, evoking lived experiences, is one of the most beneficial techniques used with the elderly, especially those suffering from Alzheimer's disease, and can result in notable progress in cognitive, social, mood and behavioural aspects.
This box of memories, containing objects that were used and needed throughout their lives, will be highly satisfying for users (they can tell each other about them and gain importance within the group); for well-being and self-affirmation.

Recall therapy or interventions that target the emotions, mainly consist of working on past experiences in an individual or group setting using photographs, objects from the home, recordings, songs, games and other items from the past.
Highly recommended for working on the most advanced cognitive impairments. This can prove beneficial for cognitive reconstruction and mood, by reducing anxiety and challenging behaviour.
By working on distant memories, the identity of the user is reinforced, and especially continuity. As lived experiences, both past and present, are linked; thus helping to establish continuity in a person’s life story.
