Tactile association game

his touch matching game uses popular retro textures to reveal personal stories and positive memories in people with moderate to advanced dementia. Players are encouraged to feel and associate the tactile textures with the image or group them based on their associations. They can also simply feel and discuss the elements of the texture, such as whether it is soft or rough.

Particularly soothing for people in the later stages of dementia, this activity can support cognitive stimulation therapy, which has proven to be a powerful tool in treating people with dementia. The tactile association game can be played independently or with multiple players and includes conversational prompts such as "What does this surface remind you of?"
