Taiwan Alzheimer's Disease Association have created "School of Wisdom" for people with mild dementia since 2004. They come to attend activities designed for them, like brain gym, reminiscence group, music group, art group, choir and excercise group. They come to School of Wisdom once a week and they love to attend. Caregivers asked us to run more classes because this program is helpful to both caregiver and people with dementia. We have served more than 150 people with dementia. The longest duration in Scholl of Wisdom is 5 years. Hope this sharing is helpful. LiYu Tang, Secretary General of Taiwan Alzheimer's Disease Association
