Difficulties with communicating, memory loss, irritability, apathy ... the main symptoms of Alzheimer disease progressively isolate a person and cause mental distress. Family and friends struggle to help, without knowing how to share anything other than treatment with the patient.
Textile art-therapy, thanks to therapeutic goals (stimulating verbal and non-verbal, sensory gratification, procedural and emotional memory ...) sets off relational sharing , calms anxiety and decreases the symptoms of the patient.
This work suggests art-therapy activities with embroidery, sewing and knitting, easy to do and geared to the different stages of the disease, which will allow the patient to gain self-esteem and dignity.
