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.
