12:55:34 From Janet Gritz : When you say "Alzheimers", are you referring specifically to that disease or to dementia in general?
12:57:23 From Joan Green : Greetings again. This is Joan Green, an assistive tech specialist, speech pathologist and online tech coach.I find Dakim to be a wonderful supplement to speech therapy intervention- definitely not a replacement. Again, if anyone would like to chat on the phone about the many ways to leverage the benefits of tech to support communication, cognition, literacy and productivity- feel free to set up a time to chat using this link- http://bit.ly/PickADayAndTime. www.innovativespeech.com
12:58:10 From Gulshan Ara : Hi Steve & Dan can you please share resource lins, email addresses & content slides also
12:59:02 From Gulshan Ara : links
13:00:55 From Karen Ricks-Gangwer : At what "stage" of dementia/Alzheimer's disease would a person still be able to participate?
13:01:49 From Joan Green : I see benefits to Lumosity also. It’s a very different set of cognitive exercises but also has value, in my opinion. Many find it very satisfying and helps them think more clearly, others find Lumosity too frustrating. I try to find the best fit for each person and to change it up over time to challenge the brain in different ways.
13:03:12 From Susan Wranik : Thanks Joan - which speaks to my initial thoughts on the benefits - not dismissal - of a clinical professional.
13:03:16 From Janet Gritz : For seniors who don't have an ipad or other tablet but do have a desktop or laptop computer, can they access the program through the website?
13:05:13 From Susan Wranik : Looking forward to trialing your program as a supplement to my clinical work.
13:05:51 From Joan Green : Janet, Unfortunately, I don’t think the slower paced senior program can be accessed from a laptop or computer.
13:06:02 From Gulshan Ara : No doubt it works fantastically
13:06:59 From Ellen Pincus : Thank u
13:07:15 From Susan Wranik : Important to underline that Alz is not the only dementia out there and that this program is recommended as a supplement to - not clinical substitution to therapy.
