👋 October Community Connect: Sensory Exploration Kits!

This month, participants will be creating sensory exploration kits that we will donate to local school children. 🖐️✨
Together, we’ll make homemade dough and gather a variety of objects that children can use for hands-on, exploratory play.

Our Community Connect projects are about so much more than the finished project. Each month, we incorporate a multi-step service project into our curriculum that gives participants an opportunity to take an active role in giving back to their community.
From forming committees and making plans to shopping, creating, assembling, and giving, every step has purpose. 💛

Meaningful engagement isn’t just about staying busy. It’s about having opportunities to contribute, make decisions, work together, and make a difference.

👀👂👃✋👅 October is Sensory Awareness Month!

For people living with dementia, the senses can offer powerful ways to connect with the world around them. A familiar song, the scent of a favorite recipe, the texture of an everyday object, or the sight of a meaningful photograph can invite engagement, conversation, and connection. 💛

This is one reason Montessori-based programming for dementia incorporates sensory experiences into meaningful activities. Rather than focusing on what a person can no longer do, the Montessori approach looks for remaining strengths and abilities and creates opportunities for people to use them.
Sensory experiences can be incorporated into purposeful activities throughout the day, from music and cooking to sorting, gardening, art, and familiar household tasks. 🌿🎶

This October, we’re celebrating the many ways we can use the senses to create opportunities for choice, purpose, independence, and meaningful engagement. 👏

💡 Montessori Principle #10: break a task down into steps to make it easier to follow.

✨ Montessori Moments in Action at Geriactive! ✨
In Dr. Cameron Camp’s 12 Montessori Principles for Dementia, Principle 10 highlights the power of breaking tasks into smaller, manageable steps. For example: planning a party can feel overwhelming if approached all at once. By dividing it into simple steps like first making invitations, folding paper, writing addresses, or using scissors, more residents can participate, feel successful, and enjoy contributing. 🎉

At GeriActive, we put this principle into practice every day! Every craft, recipe, or project is thoughtfully designed to be broken into smaller, achievable parts so every resident can engage, feel confident, and experience the joy of creating. 💛

What Makes GeriActive Unique? 🤔

At GeriActive, fun and skill-building go hand in hand! We embed Physical & Occupational Therapy techniques into every activity so that participants aren’t just enjoying themselves, but also strengthening valuable life skills. From buttoning a shirt to brushing teeth, everyday tasks use a variety of skills we often take for granted. 👏👏👏

Our programs are designed to improve abilities while making every moment engaging and fun, going beyond entertainment.

🪡 "Style is something each of us already has, all we need to do is find it." —Diane von Furstenberg

Fashion has always been a significant piece of our lives, no matter what decade, fad, or trend we are currently in (or reminiscing on)! 👜

We found this fun video of residents taking a walk down memory lane of what fashion trends they enjoyed and participated in during an earlier part of their lives. Watch the whole video here: 👉 https://www.facebook.com/share/r/16NCAZaWihF/

What fashion trend do you wish was still "en vogue"? Let us know in the comments! 📣

🍂 September Free Activity: “School Days” Sequencing 🎶

Sequencing can be a strong skill for many people living with cognitive impairment, and it’s a skill we can build on through Montessori-based programming for adults.
This month’s FREE activity uses the familiar fall song “School Days” to create a simple, meaningful sequencing experience. Lay the different lyric sections out on a table and invite residents to arrange them in the order they remember.

This activity encourages residents to draw on familiarity, memory, sequencing, and problem-solving while engaging with a song that may bring back memories of school days gone by. 🎒🍎

Simple. Familiar. Purposeful. And ready for you to use with your residents this September!
