Morning Twitteroos …. In case you missed it yesterday.. …It’s not that I’m stopping typing, heaven forbid. I learnt a hard lesson one Christmas which still sends shivers up my spine, the stories in my book. I’ll still be typing just not publishing. whichmeamitoday.wordpress.com/2021/08/13/my-…

If you see someone who might need assistance, for example looking lost or overwhelmed - it's important to see the person as an individual – not just the symptoms of dementia. We can help put the person at ease, make the situation less stressful & ensure they feel respected.

It has been observed that our response to #music is one thing that #dementia cannot destroy. The key is introducing music that is personal to the listener. Find out more about the power of personal playlists and the science behind the phenomenon: bit.ly/3jv7yL5

What a brilliant short film about lived experience of people with autism in the Borders: 'Autism: My Superpower and Me'🦸‍♀️🦸

I do lots of work with older people, here is a little tip: if you work with people who are now 70, they were 18 in 1970 not 1940. They listened to The Beatles, The Jackson 5 & Diana Ross. They wore flares and bright clothes. They were *not* in the war nor listened to Vera Lynn.
