Beyond the Five Senses: Understanding Sensory Experiences in Dementia
September 10, 2025 @ 10:00 am – 11:30 am
Join us for a workshop exploring the complex sensory world of dementia. We will cover how the senses change and what to do when someone experiences things that feel real to them but different to you. Learn practical ways to make spaces more comfortable, understand sensory experiences, and use sight, sound, and touch to connect better. Attendees will gain awareness about these often-invisible challenges and a framework to support persons through all types of sensory changes.
