Memory DayByDay will provide an opportunity for people with early-onset dementia and their family members to learn an alternate form of communication.
We are partnering with UCSF, School of Nursing, to run a study to see if learning ASL will help improve communication between the person with dementia and his caregiver and family.
We are in the developing stage. Anyone interested in helping us setup a program of teaching sign language in a practical way, please call or email us.
Call if you have further questions.
