The Connections and Skills Kit is a unique professional activation kit, designed for people with decreased memory and cognitive abilities, including people with dementia and Alzheimer's. The goal of the assessment is to stimulate a wide range of skills, and to assist in preserving connections and brain and interpersonal skills, in a fun, meaningful and respectful way.
A Connections and Skills Kit is suitable for use at home, in a daycare center, or in a nursing home, and can be used by family members, caregivers, volunteers, and professionals. In fact, this is one of its most prominent advantages: it is not a small or focused kit, but a broader and richer tool, which is especially suitable for professionals who are looking for a professional, diverse, and versatile solution over time.
The kit brings together several different content worlds within one kit:
- Collection of physical training and sensory stimulation
- Brain training collection
- Game collection
- A collection of memoirs
- Collection of works
- Lyrics
- And a collection of recipes.
Each collection is accompanied by an operator's instruction booklet , and all activity materials are contained in one handy bag.
The uniqueness of assessment is not only in its richness, but also in what it allows: more opportunities for creating interest, conversation, connection, and shared enjoyment. Instead of relying on a single way of engaging, you can tailor the activity to the person, their mood, abilities, and interests—and thus make the time together richer, more flexible, and more meaningful.
Because the kit combines several operating kits, its price is significantly higher than other EMDA systems.
The assessment has been used, among others, by dozens of volunteers as part of the Connections from the Heart project , to engage hundreds of people with dementia in weekly personal meetings in their homes. The accumulated therapeutic experience with it has repeatedly proven its value as a practical, professional, and multidisciplinary working tool.
If you are looking for a richer, more professional, and more multidisciplinary operating kit — one that can be especially suitable for professionals — Connections and Skills can be an excellent solution.
