Dementia & Disabilities Escape™

Dementia and Disabilities Escape™ is a hands-on training program that gives course participants the opportunity to experience firsthand the anxiety, frustration, fear, and confusion that adults with dementia and other disabilities may experience.  

We use sensory stimulation and deprivation equipment to allow care professionals and family members to literally “step into the shoes” of those they care for who are experiencing the physical and emotional challenges of the varying stages of dementia.

Down Syndrome & Alzheimer’s Disease

According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, many but not all people with Down syndrome develop Alzheimer's disease as they age. This is due to an extra copy of chromosome 21, which carries a gene that produces a specific protein called amyloid precursor protein (APP). This class covers the correlation between Down syndrome and Alzheimer's disease.
