The PALS Project: Students in a grade six class in New Brunswick took on a special project to learn more about Alzheimer's disease. They became pen pals and visited a number of people with the disease who lived in a local long-term care facility. Read their writings here and visit the Art Gallery to see art they created as part of this project.
in our own words: For another look at writings by people with dementia, visit in our own words at http://dementia-authors.org. This creative writing project in Glasgow, Scotland lets people with dementia who are living in Glasgow City Council residential care homes create writing, have their voices heard and be recognised as authors in their own right.
