There is emphasis on the use of memory aids such as clocks, calendars, newspapers and large descriptive notices.
2: Describes the planning and execution of small group reality orientation sessions. Shows the use of simple items related to current reality: memory games, jigsaws, discussions. This programme is perhaps more relevant to the day centre or day hospital.
