Training & Certification for Dementia Activities 

 

We offer training videos on the Gift of Enrichment approach, demonstrating how to lead person‑centered activities (PCA) using the Montessori Method. Activities Directors and Caregivers can earn the PCA Certification after completing our three‑volume video program and quizzes (Total duration: 15-20 minutes). These videos are from our company, formerly known as Sensory Outings Company. Click here for Guidance Tips and Montessori Method Handout.

The second set of training videos features eight different activities using the Montessori Method (Each video: 2:30 to 4:50 minutes).
