Persons with Mild and Moderate Alzheimer’s Disease Use Simple Technology to Support Their Leisure Engagement

---

AbstractThis study assessed a technology-aided program for supporting leisure occupation in personswithmild ormod-erate Alzheimer’s disease. Eleven participants were included in the study. At the start of the sessions with the program, a computer presented visually and verbally the leisure options available (i.e., music, comedy, films, and television shows). As soon as the participant selected an option (e.g., music) by activating a simple microswitch, the computer presented three or four related alternatives (e.g., singers). Selection of a singer led the computer to present three or four songs of that singer. Selection of a song led the computer to play it and then to reset for a new choice sequence provided that the session time was not ended. All participants succeeded in using the program, activating leisure events (e.g., songs and comedy sketches), and being positively engaged for most of the sessions’time. Twenty-two staff who were interviewed about the program pro-vided highly positive scores for it and expressed personal interest in applying it. The technology-aided program seems to be a practical resource to support independent leisure occupation in persons with mild or moderate Alzheimer’s disease. KeywordsAlzheimer’sdisease.
