PWD = Person with Dementia
Here is my mind map for the day. Pretty mundane but necessary.
The video shows my development of the map; time lapse 10 seconds = 1 second. Done before I had my first cup of coffee or any medications for the day.
Final map that I will carry around in my pocket all day. I will make a lot of hand modifications to this during the day as things change and tasks get added, scheduled, or deleted.
Note to self: Next time have a cup of coffee first before running a video recording session on yourself.
This is Part 10 in a series of blog posts about how to make and use mind maps for people with dementia and everyone else. The earlier posts can be accessed through the links below.
I am so impressed with the creative way you are dealing with your situation.
Thank you. I am very hopeful that my experiences and demonstrations will encourage some others with cognitive impairment and dementia to explore these techniques and see if they are helpful for them. Also I hope that social care professionals (clinical psychologists, social workers, gerontologists, counselors) and healthcare professionals (nurses, occupational therapists, counselors, primary care physicians, neurologists) will similarly explore these methods to see if they might be helpful for some of their clients.
