JINGLE THERAPY IS AN INITIATIVE THAT TURNS PUERTO RICAN ADVERTISING JINGLES FROM THE 60’S, 70’S, 80’S AND 90’S, INTO AN ALTERNATIVE METHOD OF MEMORY STIMULATION FOR ALZHEIMER’S PATIENTS.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

ALZHEIMER IS A DISEASE THAT ATTACKS THE HUMAN BRAIN ERASING MEMORIES, BUT THE OLDER EXPERIENCES AND MEMORIES ARE THE LEAST AFFECTED BY THE DISEASE. THEREFORE, BY STIMULATING THE MEMORY WITH JINGLES THAT WERE FAMOUS WHEN THE PATIENTS WERE YOUNG AND WHICH HAVE NEVER BEEN TRANSMITTED AGAIN, WE CREATE AN OPPORTUNITY TO HELP THEM REMEMBER, IMPROVING THEIR QUALITY OF LIFE.

NEXT, YOU WILL BE ABLE TO CREATE A PERSONALIZED JINGLE THERAPY PLAYLIST FOR A PERSON WITH ALZHEIMER, BUT FIRST, KEEP THE FOLLOWING IN MIND:

TRY TO IDENTIFY JINGLES THAT ARE FAMILIAR AND PLEASANT TO THE PATIENT.
AVOID INTERRUPTIONS THAT MAY CAUSE CONFUSION.
ENCOURAGES THE PATIENT TO REMEMBER HAPPY MOMENTS AND THAT MOTIVATE THEM.
ENCOURAGE MOVEMENTS LIKE CLAPPING OR DANCE TO INCREASE ENJOYMENT.
AVOID SENSORY OVERLOAD; ELIMINATES COMPETING NOISE BY CLOSING WINDOWS AND DOORS AND TURNING OFF THE TELEVISION.
MAKE SURE THE MUSIC VOLUME IS NOT TOO LOUD.
