Abstract/Notes: Using almost 30 years of research, the National Center for Montessori in the Public Sector (NCMPS) and Philip Yenawine present the case for visual thinking strategies (VTS) as an opportunity to apply these strategies in the Montessori learning environment by centering engagement with art. The overall goal of VTS is to provide an accessible transformative learning experience through an open-ended discussion of visual art that increases a student’s literacy, language, and critical thinking skills.

Abstract/Notes: Reading is a skill that remains for a long time in persons with dementia (PWD), with oral reading and grammatical knowledge often being preserved through the latest stages of the condition. However, without access to dementia-appropriate reading materials, many senior living communities are compelled to provide children’s books to PWD. While the large font and simple sentences in such books make them easy to read, they fail to respect PWD’s status as adults who have significant life histories. Hearthside Book Club® (HBC) is a Montessori-based and adult-appropriate reading and discussion activity that capitalizes on the remaining abilities of PWD. This paper will discuss the key features of HBC, outcomes of a research study that examined HBC, processes used to disseminate HBC, and lessons learned while disseminating the intervention. Regarding the research study, persons from all stages of dementia participated (N=108), with 33% in the Early Stages, 28% in the Middle Stages, and 39% in the Late Stages. When compared to baseline activities, HBC produced an 85% increase in Constructive Engagement (p<.01), a 91% increase in Pleasure (p<.01), a 76% decrease in Distracted Engagement (p<.01), and a 59% decrease in Non-Engagement (p<.01). In addition, Quality of Life (measured with the DEMQOL) increased (p<.05), while Apathy (measured by the NPI-NH) decreased (p<.05). Regarding dissemination of HBC, a competitive analysis, surveys, and interviews with end users were used to determine optimal ways of delivering and pricing the intervention. Ultimately, we decided to disseminate HBC digitally as a Book of the Week Club.
