LEARNING THERAPY

There is no cure for Alzheimer's, but it can be actively decelerated

Learning therapy is a cognitive intervention for patients with dementia to train their working memory through
reading aloud and arithmetic. Studies have shown that it helps older adults maintain and enhance the functions
of their frontal cortex. 4000 different materials for this programme has been developed by Dr Kawashima and his
research team. Before the start of the intervention, programmes are individualised and customised to suit the
patients cognitive needs to enable them the best opportunity of engaging and performing the task without too
much of a difficulty. So far, the programme have been implemented in various nursing homes and even by the
local government in Japan.

Key features of learning therapy

Keeping it short, simple and person centric
(1)Activities have to be extremely simple for a
person with dementia to perform because
they are keyed to that individuals current
capability.
(2)Activities has to be familiar, for example
reading, calculation and writing. Actions
like using paper, pen and pencil is part of
everyday life.
(3)Activities has to be individualised and

Positive effects of high social interaction

Increase in care staff morale reduces
high turnover
Research studies has shown that an
additional outcome of Learning Therapy
is that it promotes greater positive
engagement of nursing home staff in the
residents individual progress and care
needs. A positive social interaction with
caregivers is also likely to influence the
improvement of mood for both care
staff and persons with dementia. This will
will also result in better quality of care
and reduce turnover.

Taking learning therapy to

Australia, New Zealand and beyond
Establishing learning therapy is a cognitive
intervention despite cultural settings
In September 2011, Dr Kawashima conducted a
similar study in US patients because he wanted to
investigate whether learning therapy would work
equally well in a different cultural setting.
Approximately 30 patients with Alzheimer's disease or
vascular dementia were included in each of the
intervention and control groups. The mean age of
these patients was 65 to 70 years in contrast to 80
years in the previous Japanese study. Studies in the US
have indicated that their findings closely resembled
those seen in the previous Japanese trial.

In both cases we found exactly the same results.
