The Dementia 24/7 kit and the Aging Simulation Sensitivity Training (AsiST) kit each provide hands-on experiences that simulate age-related impairment. Through transformative, evidence-based learning strategies – many of which were developed by the Oklahoma Geriatric Education Center, a pioneer in sensitivity training – participants form small groups to complete hands-on exercises that simulate how people handle everyday tasks while living with a significant health challenge. Discussions and brainstorming with peers help group members absorb learning that leads to positive problem-solving, greater compassion and greater effectiveness while working in senior care settings.
