Sometimes even when we are kicking back on vacation we get an email that we just have to share.
Music and Memory, started by social worker Dan Cohen, is one of the Good People Fund’s new programs (this past year) that brings personalized music via iPods to elderly individuals suffering from dementia, Alzheimer’s and other isolating conditions, living in nursing homes and other settings. The music taps deep memories and enables the listener to reconnect to the world, often with dramatic results.
CNN recently featured a short piece on the magic that is Music and Memory and we would love to share it with you…http://money.cnn.com/video/technology/2013/08/21/t-ipod-music-memory.cnnmoney.
Enjoy!
