The Enrichment Sensory Program

Enrich the lives of older adults using these season-oriented sensory stimulus program ideas. Keep minds active and engaged using the brilliant and easy-to-execute ideas. Household objects will suddenly become precious reminders of happy memories – the smell of suntan lotion in summer, the feel of ice in winter, the sound of marching music reminiscent of a parade – everything you need to create a fabulous sensory program is already at your fingertips. Just supply the item and follow the memory-prompting script – there are even additional activity ideas throughout the book.

The Enrichment Sensory Program was written for persons with minimal responses to sensory stimuli. The book includes: shopping lists for affordable, seasonal sensory items, reproducible sensory forms, procedures and guidelines and a full-year collection of ready-to-read monologues. The second edition now also includes in-service tips, a planning calendar, and sensory ideas to improve the entire care center environment.
