Montessori Intervention

The Montessori method is a system of teaching developed by Maria Montessori based on principles to promote learning and independence in children. In the context of dementia care, this method has been tried in research settings in older people and was found to be effective in improving certain behavioral outcomes such as eating behaviors, agitation, and mood. The intervention is based on designing and offering activities that take into consideration the interests, needs, past experiences and preferences of participants. Importantly, participants demonstrating positive engagement with the intervention, suggesting that this may be a promising form of support to investigate and develop further for the care of people with dementia.
