PAUL DICKSON S COMPUTER TIPS Be Careful What You Post - The Internet does not have a delete key. Any comment or image you post online may stay online forever because removing the original (say, from Twitter) does not remove any copies that other people made. There is no way for you to "take back" a remark you wish you hadn't made, or get rid of that embarrassing selfie you took at a party. Don't put anything online that you wouldn't want your mum or a prospective employer to see. FOR YOUR INFORMATION The Power of Music Within residential care, one of the greatest benefits of music therapy is the connection people can form with those around them. It can help people connect with their loved ones, and can offer them a form of connection with their carer. Music may address a wide range of client needs such as social, emotional, cognitive, psychological, physiological, behavioural, communication or spiritual needs. Possible benefits may be to: Increase socialisation and reduce isolation or withdrawal behaviours by providing an engaging aesthetic experience Provide cognitive stimulation, improve word recall, stimulate long-term memory skills, and maintain existing cognitive skills Improve motivation; increase self-esteem; promote opportunities for choice & control; provide an uplifting & enjoyable form of therapy Reduce anxiety, wandering, restlessness and inappropriate or difficult behaviours whilst promoting appropriate behaviours. Improve verbal and non-verbal communication and self expression. Music is a regular activity in our weekly program here at Rembrandt Court and can vary from singalongs, listening to a CD or watching a music DVD.
