Montessori for Dementia, Disability & Ageing Course

Montessori for Dementia, Disability and Ageing is an innovative approach to dementia care that can be adopted for individuals or groups as a philosophy of care. The goal of the Association Montessori Internationale (AMI) program is to support older adults and people living with dementia and disability by creating a prepared environment, filled with cues and memory supports, that enables individuals to care for themselves, others, and their community.

The AMI Montessori for Dementia, Disability & Ageing 12-hour Course is the theoretical component of the AMI Montessori for Dementia, Disability, & Ageing Certified Practitioner qualification.
