Abstract/Notes: PurposeThis study examined the impact of a Montessori mealtime intervention for people living with dementia to support the mealtime experience of residents and mealtime care practices of staff in a memory support unit. The mealtime intervention was part of a broader culture change project.MethodAn observational research design was used to evaluate changes in the mealtime experience and care practices across three time points (baseline, post-implementation, maintenance), spanning 30 months. Five video recordings of the lunch time service (range: 19?32 min) were analysed. The coding protocol comprised pre-determined indicators related to accepted dimensions of person-centred care. Resident and staff behaviours were quantified across four categories: providing choice and preferences, promoting the social side of eating, supporting independence and showing respect towards residents. Staff behaviours that reflected personal enhancing actions and personal detractors were also coded during each mealtime service.ResultsA significant increase in staff providing residents with the opportunity for choice and a subsequent significant increase in residents demonstrating choice behaviours was evident. Staff and residents both significantly increased their interactional behaviours, with greater social interaction between staff and residents. Staff further demonstrated greater support for mealtime independence that reached and maintained significance during the final two sampling points. Significant gains observed post implementation were largely maintained and, on specific measures, further increased over time. A significant increase in staff use of personal enhancing actions during mealtime care was also evident. Variability in individual staff and resident behaviour highlighted the complexity of mealtime care and culture change processes.ImplicationsThe study provides novel evidence to support the use of a Montessori mealtime intervention to achieve more person-centred mealtime care, and which resulted in a more respectful, enabling and social dining experience. Clinical implications and direction for future research are presented to build on these findings.

Abstract/Notes: Logic models are tools that are commonly used in research and program evaluation across the social sciences. The logic model presented in this chapter has the potential to lay a foundation across disciplines for research that is rigorous and systematic in its measurement of Montessori processes and outcomes. The accessible, visual nature of the Montessori logic model displays the core components and activities, underlying assumptions, and intended outcomes of the approach to create a shared understanding that is valuable for researchers, evaluators, funders, and practitioners. The model facilitates a common understanding of Montessori pedagogy and appropriate assessment of the outcomes of Montessori education.

Abstract/Notes: Since coming of age in the world of Montessori over 40 years ago, not a day goes by that I don't seriously wonder how I fell into this state of good fortune. The newest addition to AMS's framework of support for teacher educators comes in the form of the MIE (Montessori Inclusion Endorsement), which will help teachers hone their skills to serve children with special needs. How wonderful it would have been to have had a Montessorian with training in working with children with special needs, to provide additional support to the school and the families we served.
