Dementia Simulation
Partnering with Dr. Sue Myllykangas, CTRS of Northwest Missouri State University’s
Therapeutic Recreation department, we will be conducting a dementia simulation to
provide families and caregivers a glimpse of what it is like to live with dementia.
For the simulation, participants will be outfitted with adaptive equipment that will
simulate what it is like to live with dementia and then be given routine tasks to perform.
The idea is to show caregivers what it’s really like to live with the disease and reinforce
that everyday tasks that are easy for most of us, are not at all easy for someone living
with Alzheimer’s or another dementia related disease.
Each simulation will take up to 15 minutes. Call to reserve your time slot and space is limited.
