I met with Dara Cohen - who provides access program's at the Jewish Museum, to various members of the community. They have just began their Alzheimer's access program in September - so to get the feedback off such a fresh and new program was highly interesting!
The Jewish Museum educators also work at MOMA but their program is entirely different. Alot of the program differences differ due to logistics and what is possible within the space. What was interesting was that the Jewish Museum use sensory stimuli's to engage in each painting. So for example, smells and visuals to instigate discussion.
I hope to contact Dara in a couple of months to see how the program is developing and if they have made any specific changes...
