Innovative projectsAt Innovations in Dementia we believe that with the right support and opportunities, people with dementia can communicate, engage, participate and continue to be part of relationships and communities, no matter how advanced their dementia. Innovations in Dementia CIC will work with people with dementia, partner organisations and professionals to help people with dementia to keep control of their lives by testing new and positive projects and adopting a civil rights approach to overcoming discrimination. If you have ideas for new innovative projects for people with dementia or are interested in partnering with us on an innovative project please email ideas@innovationsindementia.org.uk Some of our areas of interest:Start Making Sense - accessible information for people
with dementia Making sure that the voice of people with dementia is heard The civil rights of people with dementia People with dementia making use of computers, the internet and
other technology NewsInformation about assistive technology for people with dementiaWe have started work on a new joint project with the Trent Dementia Services Development Centre and the Disabled Living Foundation. The project is funded by the Department of Health and will develop the ATdementia website (see www.atdementia.org.uk). The new website will help people to consider areas of daily living where they may experience difficulties. The website will then suggest advice and information on technologies and other strategies that may be helpful. The project will use a tool that the Disabled Living Foundation
have developed on their website called AskSara (see www.asksara.org.uk)
June 2009 Videos by people with dementiaWe are with people with dementia to develop short videos. Some of these will be about living with dementia, while others will be about whatever the participants want. We are grateful to The Rayne Foundation and South West Screen for funding this project. We will have a professional film-maker to help us with the technical and creative aspects of the project, but the stars and the driving force will be people with dementia themselves.
