New Dementia Study Findings Have Been Published by a Researcher at Maynooth University (Montessori Elder and Dementia Care, and Trauma-Informed Approaches).

A recent study conducted at Maynooth University explores the potential link between childhood trauma and the onset of dementia in later life. The study suggests that trauma-informed approaches, such as the Montessori Method, could be beneficial in dementia care. The Montessori Method incorporates principles of trauma-informed practice and has the capacity to be trauma-sensitive and trauma-responsive. The study recommends integrating knowledge about the neurobiology of trauma into training programs for the Montessori Method in dementia care. [Extracted from the article]
