Friends--

Have been thinking that a population OST could serve in a major good way 
is among people who have dementia. How?

Perhaps we have a mixed group of people with dementia living in a 
congregate housing setting and teenagers. We gather them in a circle and 
do the normal things. The teenagers could help the oldsters remember the 
instructions and post topics. The title could be “Issues and 
Opportunities with Growing Younger Every Day.”

How, if at all, would you change the normal format of OST for this 
group? What other mixture of people would you invite? What other titles?

Perhaps we could get family members to gather with them around the topic 
“Issues and Opportunities to Still Be Family” or “Meet Me Here Today.”

I wonder.... I invite you to wonder with me....
