Al Castro, the director and social worker at the United Community Center provided me with additional sources, measuring mechanisms and Dementia Screening options at the end of the Memory Loss Program. I even got the chance to be Dementia Screened myself!!! I have never felt under so much pressure to provide the correct answers, so i do feel for those individuals who go through the process, this anxiety should be taken into consideration for the final results!!!
In the future i plan to find out more about the participants so i can design and provide workshops suited to their abilities. As part of the Dementia Screening, certain shapes and a clock face have to be drawn. Now i know this - i will certainly not facilitate this in a workshop or designn anything similar to this. It was very interesting and taught me a lot about my own cognitive ability....
