Synopsis

This second book in the series of "Two-Lap[trademark]" books provides the same outstanding communication opportunities as the award-winning The Sunshine On My Face. Designed specifically for memory-challenged adults to read aloud with a companion, the book meets the important need to communicate with the find meaningful activity for people with dementia or other memory disorders. Like a children's picture book, Happy New Year to You features short, everyday language and cheerful, engaging illustrations. Unlike a children's book, the topics relate to adult life experiences and the illustrations feature older people. Included are communication prompts and an explanation of how to use the book. This one-of-a-kind book series is proving wildly successful at stimulating meaningful interchanges with people with declining communication skills. It creates a wealth of opportunities to reminisce, converse, promote social interactions, and simply enjoy time spent together. This book is intended for family caregivers, loved ones of aging adults with dementia, residential facilities, adult day services, nursing assistants, nurses, counselors, social workers, activity directors home health agencies, volunteers, chaplains, researchers and professors of Alzheimer's care; and also libraries.
