A Father's Day from Cognitive Books YouTube video by Matt Singleton

A video, featuring @mattsingleton.bsky.social’s dad, Brian, who’s living with #dementia. It’s from Father’s Day and the first time Brian saw “looking back at … The 1966 World Cup”… Why not share with others in #socialcare / #care to demonstrate the potential interactions! youtu.be/1SJKK08be74?...

Cognitive #Books not only bring joy to, and are great activities for, people living with #dementia, but are relevant to others too. For example, we’ve received great feedback from some of those living with - or working with - #Autism Spectrum Condition, depending on their needs. ⚙️📚
