Designing programs for people with dementia that incorporate multisensory stimulation and take into consideration psychosocial factors is critical in providing meaningful programs for this unique population. Bird Tales is a new, innovative multisensory program that aims to connect people living with dementia to nature and to encourage social interaction. This report presents a process evaluation of the program implemented as an intergenerational program. The findings highlight three main themes: (1) The Bird Tales program guide is helpful, but needs improvement; (2) Building relationships with the local community improves interaction and breaks down stereotypes about dementia; and (3) There is room for growth to program conceptualization. 2015-08-05 English text Miami University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=miami1438280273 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=miami1438280273 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
