With a 10 year history of Occupational Therapy and 20 years of assisting customers in finding "the right gift" for family members with challenges (one in every 3 customers), I have noticed a trend. More and more there is a need for theraputic suportive activities for the older population, those living dementia (Aleheimer's in particular) and Stroke.
As the world's population is living longer the need for theraputic play activities is increasing.
Problems with memory, thinking and concentration can be addressed on a daily basis with the use of fun, interactive, manipulative activities. These are in the forl of diversional theraputic toys made for many ages, with a look of sophistication for adults. Their levels of usage/play may be adapted from complex to extremely easy.
