Exploring the Past

Working from the premise that the lives of people with learning disabilities are of innate value, and that exploring and celebrating people's experiences demonstrates their value in a practical way, this book provides a manual on working with memories in groups and individually.

It includes:

• A clear rationale for and guidance on the benefits of this approach
• Good practice guidelines for memory
• A chapter on life story work with individuals
• A section on working with those with learning disabilities and dementia

Ideas for dozens of activities on 15 themes associated with memories of the past, including: The childhood years - food, cooking & shopping - days out & holidays - fashions, clothing & looking good - hobbies, interests & work experience.
