This interactive experience allows students to gain valuable insights into the daily challenges faced by individuals with dementia, while also learning how to effectively communicate and provide care. With supplies for 20 to 30 students, the kit offers an immersive group simulation experience. Ten students can role-play as dementia patients, while the others act as caregivers or family members, practicing empathy, patience, and communication skills in various scenarios.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003ePacing Guide\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003ch5\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/content.realityworks.com\/pacing-guide-request-geriatric\"
