A groundbreaking approach to disability and aged care

Dementia, ageing and disabilities can make people feel worthless and miserable, and home routines can so easily rob them of their independence and dignity. The Montessori approach can dramatically improve their well-being and enable them to do things for themselves rather than having things done for them. It empowers not only patients but carers and families too.

What Students Say

“This has filled me with so many ideas to improve the lives of our residents. In 25 years of working in care I have never attended a course that has been so informative, interesting, inspirational and relevant.”

“Absolutely excellent, I could listen and learn from the trainer forever!”

“This is what hopefully will be the future of aged care – dignified, respectful and person-centred.”
