Rae-Lynn Cebul Ziegler is the author of Let's Look Together An Interactive Picture Book for People with Alzheimer’s and Other Forms of Memory Loss.  I think you will be surprised at what you learn via her research and how it can help both professionals and family members. Rae-Lynn’s professional experience in occupational therapy and specialty certification in sensory integration (learning theory based on how the body’s nervous system takes in information and then organizes it for meaningful daily use) sparked the concept of how the book was created to work. She successfully engaged minds that were less able to concentrate and respond.  The book is a tool to empower supportive communication, meaningful interactions – to keep, and maintain connections both neurological and relational!
