Dance/Movement Therapy & Dementia ~ an ADTA Talk

I'm excited to share my passion about the importance of dance and embodied caregiving for people with dementia.

 

This ADTA Talk in the manner of Ted-Talks was just released in honor of International Dance Day. It is the second in the series. The first was Christina Devereaux on Dance/Movement Therapy & Autism: Dances of Relationship

Octaband

  • Octabandnofaces
    The Octaband™ is a fun, interactive tool which promotes individuality and group cohesion through movement for people of all ages and abilities. As a dance/movement therapist, Donna Newman-Bluestein was motivated to design the Octaband to stimulate movement in the elderly with dementia. The stretchy material, bright colors, and innovative design stimulate self-expression, spontaneity, and awareness of others. The center circle provides a strong visual focus, and the 5 1/2" hem at the end of each arm allows those with limited grasping ability to participate. Go to www.octaband.com to learn more.
