Our Professionals
Sensory Outings Company professionals have 7+ years of experience and are trained by the highly regarded Alzheimer’s Association of Denver. We use Validation Therapyand have to Teepa Snow’s seminars. Our staff will wear a mask, gloves, and use disinfectant before and after each activity.
Our professionals know that Alzheimer’s disease effects all five senses that include seeing or watching, listening, touching and feeling, tasting and smelling. According to the Alzheimer’s Association, listening is the least effected. Sight is the first to be affected by the disease. The peripheral vision continues to narrow the field of view and spatial awareness becomes lost (Teepa Snow, 2016). Other senses such as touching and tasting will progressively become enhanced, and smells will progressively become odorless. These are key factors that play into how Sensory Outings professionals interact with people at various stages of Alzheimer’s and structure participation in our activities. For example, an early-stage Alzheimer’s participant would know what to do with a paintbrush and watercolors. However, a mid-stage Alzheimer’s participant may know what a paintbrush is but not see the paper to use it on, or possibly what do with it. Its our privilege to engage and promote enjoyment and participation while attentive to these individual factors. Its our aim to serve early to late stage Alzheimer’s participants to their greatest capacity!
