Alzheimer’s Stories: The PALS Project.
Sometimes the best way to understand something is to get up close and personal. That’s what a school in New Brunswick did when they decided to educate a group of 6th Grade students about Alzheimer’s Disease. Instead of simply learning by the book, the students were all assigned a ‘pen pal’ - a person with Alzheimer’s disease living in a local long-term care facilitiy. The students wrote letter and sent photos to their pen pals, exchanged holiday cards, and visited them at the residential care facility.
As you can tell from the writing and art works that the students created, it was a great learning experience for them.
