Humans are hardwired for connection. Even without words, moments of connection are vital. Eye contact, gesture, smiling, handshakes, waving, singing, dancing, sitting, being. Connection is key. #WithSLTuCan

β€œConnection is key” #WithSLTuCan
Demystifying dementia with children/ grandchildren helps to maintain family relationships & reduce stigma. Simple explanations & easy communication strategies cultivate connection. Connection is key. #WithSLTuCan

Love this πŸ₯°
Photographing daily activities on your phone can support recall & serve as a useful conversation starter. Catalogue the day & label it together as a way of keeping track, reminiscing & sharing details together later. Show & tell. #WithSLTuCan
