We want to make sure this message gets posted all throughout our website, but currently AppleScraps jewelry has a limited edition series of necklaces available for purchase. Edcon teamed up with Amy Cecil (founder and artisan of AppleScraps) to create pendants for engaging those with dementia in meaningful, generational discussion. For those who have attended our program and understand what we mean when we refer to "trigger/flash," ; these are the perfect, small, portable tools for immediately connecting with someone who has dementia and triggering a memory flash. One of the things we have found is how comforting it is as a caregiver to not go into an interaction empty handed. A "prop" allows us a quick and easy way to relate to a person. If interested in viewing or purchasing one of the limited edition 10 designs for engaging those in your care, go to www.applescraps.com/html/edcon.html
