Cognitive stimulation

"The intervention program will have 24 sessions (base scheme of 4 series of 6 sessions), lasting approximately 45 min and will be developed according to the following structure: - welcoming (greeting to the participant) (5 min); - orientation to reality (10 min); - main cognitive stimulation activity (25 min); - return to calm and evaluation of the session (5 min).~The CS sessions will have an individual format and will be conducted by a professional with experience in CS and previously trained in this intervention. The intervention sessions will include several activities based on the CS principles, with evidence suggesting positive participant effects. The CS sessions will be carried out using material, developed by the principal investigator, in digital format (power point presentations). There will be no repetition of activities, and throughout the base CS program, the degree of difficulty of the exercises will be adjusted based on the dementia stage of the participant."
