“Fabulous! Superb Visuals!! Extremely engaging !!!
This e-Book shows how a variety of creative arts can be used to make contact and encourage self expression with a person with dementia symptoms; painting, music, dance, verbal/non-verbal interaction. I felt like I was there. The simple to use videos drew me in as a visual learner, and it felt like such an honour to actually witness this precious work Dalia has done. I liked the videos being part of the e-Book. The video segments brought the words to life and validated their meaning.”
