From Research to Real Life
When Running CST Groups, Families Kept Asking
"How can we create this connection at home?"
They would often ask me what "magic" I was doing in the room, as they watched their loved one become more engaged, more confident, more connected, and wanted to know how to bring this home.
So using an evidence-based framework designed to support cognitive health, function, mood and family connection, I created the Connect at Home™ Cognitive Stimulation Program.
