The book begins with an overview of dementia, tips for the caregiver, and a discussion of types of therapy. Each activity chapter follows a similar structure, beginning with an overview of how to introduce and implement the specific activities and sections devoted to engagement "At Home" and "In a Community Setting.""-- Provided by publisher.
