This is an opportunity to learn about life as perceived by people with sensory losses. Dementia can cause these losses, as well as other factors such as age related vision loss, or the side effects of a stroke or diabetes. Learn what your peers may be experiencing. This is also a great training for people who want to volunteer in the Friendly Visitor Program, and also for people who interact with or care for people with sensory loss or dementia. The Virtual Dementia Tour is funded in part thru Administration on Community Living grant #90ADPI0060
