“Through the Seasons: An Activity Book for Memory-Challenged Adults and Caregivers” by Cynthia R. Greene. Mental stimulation has been found to offer demonstrable benefits for people with Alzheimer disease, dementia, or other memory impairment. This book helps family members and caregivers engage memory-challenged adults in simple, enjoyable activities that provide stimulation and enhance communication. Fun and easy to use, this large-format color picture book is divided into themes representing the four seasons. Each section describes several multi-sensory experiences―such as picking apples or raking leaves―along with related topics for discussion and activities to elicit memories and encourage new positive associations. The topics and activities incorporate all five senses to facilitate connections and conversations with memory-challenged persons across a wide range of cognitive function. (362.196Gre).
