Activity Aprons
The Activity Apron is designed to
provide the individual with dementia the opportunity
to engage in stimulating activities.
Safety Considerations
The features of the Activity Apron
are created from everyday items and materials. It
has been designed and sewn by volunteers. Please
ensure that The Apron has been put on properly (i.e.
tightness/length of straps).
If the individual with dementia has a
tendency to interact with any of the items on their
apron in a dangerous manner, please take one or both
of the following actions:
-
Please speak with the individual
who provided the Activity Apron (i.e. A
Counsellor at the Alzheimer Society of Niagara
Region - 905-687-3914) to determine if there is
an alternative Apron available without the
features of concern or if the features of
concern can be removed from the Apron
-
Supervise the individual with
dementia when they are wearing the Activity
Apron
Strategies
for Encouraging Interaction with the Activity Apron
Try to see if the individual with
dementia will interact with the features of the
Activity Apron spontaneously. However, if they do
not, the following is a list of strategies to
encourage interaction with the Activity Apron:
-
Verbal (using words to direct the
individual`s attention to the apron)
-
Gestures (pointing to the
features of the apron)
-
Tactile (placing the individual`s
hand on the apron features)
-
Demonstrating (showing the
individual how to manipulate the apron features)
-
Hand over hand (physically
directing their hands during interaction with
the apron)
Considerations for Keeping the Apron Clean
Some of the features of the Activity
Aprons may not withstand the washing machine,
therefore wash by hand if necessary and try to keep
the apron as clean as possible by:
The Alzheimer Society of Niagara
Region (ASNR)
and all other bodies associated with
the ASNR

special or consequential damages or injuries arising
