Using Art to Explain Alzheimer’s to Children

“Why Can’t Grandma Remember My Name?” is a book by Kent L. Karosen, CEO of the Fisher Center for Alzheimer s Research Foundation. In this 4 minute video, see how and why Karosen uses art produced by children alongside art produced by Alzheimer’s patients to explain Alzheimer’s disease to children in a digestible way.

In addition to elevating awareness about the multigenerational effectiveness of art therapy, Karosen’s book also raises funds for Alzheimer’s Research, visit his foundation’s website HERE for more information.
