Dr. Margaret Wacker has devoted her life to helping people with memory issues. Memory Lane uses photo prompts to 'trigger' memories. Conversation-starting photos of dollhouse furniture and carefully structured questions help almost anyone work with people suffering memory loss through group and paired interactions.


The benfits of Memory Lane include:

an easy-for-anyone-to use system to work with people with memory issues, as in Dementia and Alzheimers Disease. The photographs of familiar objects from the past and the guided questions stimulate group conversation and memory sharing. Sharing stories from their past helps people feel important and valued. This simple tool is ready to be used by anyone who wants to help people suffering with memory issues. It makes family visits and memory-building sessions structured and fun. It preserves valuable family histories.

With over 10 years of experience working with patients with Dementia, Dr. Wacker has used the dollhouse to tap positive memories from the past and wants to share the benefits and fun of her simple system with care-givers and caring family members.

Everyone benefits from a trip down memory lane.
