The Virtual Dementia Tour (VDT), a product of Second Wind Dreams, is a powerful simulation that allows participants to experience the life of someone living with Alzheimer’s disease or other related dementias. VDT uses an in-person, evidence-based method that helps caregivers gain an understanding and build a sensitivity to the needs of those living with dementia. Using sensory tools and instruction that alter your senses to mimic the various manifestations of dementia, you will be guided through common everyday tasks and exercises. The tour allows you to experience for yourself the physical and cognitive challenges those with dementia face.
