The Montessori Approach enhances quality of life for people living with dementia by creating an environment in which they can succeed. Individuals living the Montessori way, do as much for themselves and others as possible, rather than having things done to them or for them.
As Maria Montessori said; “everything you do FOR me you take FROM me.”
