Abstract, Summary, or Creative Statement
For our project we worked with a group called brain wellness in Oviedo. Their purpose is to provide fun brain enriching activities to older individuals suffering from dementia. We assisted in activities such as word matching games, rearranging popsicle sticks in order to make certain patterns that were displayed on a screen, and even card games like go fish. Some key things that we learned was how to address some issues that surround dementia such as trying to convince someone that they shouldn’t be driving at their age and not make that person feel upset. We also learned some more information about which age group we feel like we might to best with in the medical field.
