Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics – or STEM – programs help people on the dementia journey by organizing environmental input and engaging multiple senses simultaneously.
Join us later this month for our Power of Play signature event! 🧠 The Inventive Minds Wonder Workshop 🧠 is a multisensory, STEM-based program where we’ll explore light, shadow, movement, and simple inventions – encouraging curiosity and problem-solving, supporting fine-motor skills, and building confidence.
Talk to our Director of Life Enrichment for details!
