1. Diagnosis: Dementia
2. Skills targeted: Attention span, memory, and verbal instruction following. For
this activity I would give the participant 3-5 steps at a time to follow. This means
they would have to process my verbal instructions, recall them, and implement.
This activity also requires attention, due to the amount of steps needed to take to
complete craft, once again working on attention span.
3. Adaptation: Instead of sewing with a needle and thin string my participant will
be using yarn with aglet at the end, precut pieces in addition to perforated holes
for his/her sewing project. In the early stages of Dementia, apraxia (loss of
voluntary motor movement) is common, so a thin string and needle would be
difficult items to grasp at this point, so that is why we will be using yarn instead.
Another adaptation, would be to label pieces (eg., wings, feet, beak, etc.) due to
the fact that individuals with dementia often experience agnosia which is the
inability to identify objects despite intact sensory.
