This morning i met with Deborah Delsingnore, an Art Therapist who carries out many job roles from Art Program's, to Director to Enrichment Program's...it was interesting to find out what all of these entailed and how she seperates them along with different stages of the disease...
It helped talking to Deborah - to understand the difference between an Art Therapist and an Art Practitioner working with this age group and the important roles these play.
The conversation was truly inspiring and i am now raring to facilitate some workshops for this generation as my brain is beaming with new ideas and things to explore...the fact that the senses can help communicate and associate with memories is truly amazing - so what would happen if these were used in all Creative Workshops? Smelling, Tasting, Touching, Hearing and Seeing??
Would this help individuals in alternative ways to engage?
