What’s Hand-over-hand? How-to and a Tool to Help You With It

Описание: I’ve mentioned ‘hand-over-hand’ technique in a few of my project videos and perhaps you’ve heard about it in a few other places as well. If you’ve been wondering what it his video should help to explain that. This video explains what hand-over-hand technique is and why you might use it. I also show you to how to make your own tennis-ball-tool that can help your loved one if they are struggling to grip things in their hands.

To make the tool you will need:

A tennis ball
A sharp knife

* Please note* The information I present in my videos is based on the therapeutic benefits of art. This is not the same as art therapy, but rather art as a therapy. The practice of art therapy is done with a certified art therapist in a safe, structured environment.

Without doubt, the long road of dementia comes with a lot of big emotions and other hurdles; for the person with the dementia; the caregiver(s); and other friends and family members. Mental health is very important and I strongly advise that you speak with a qualified professional - whether they be an art therapist, a music therapist, counselor, psychologist, or any other mental health professional who is certified in their field - to negotiate the challenges that you may be facing.
