Short DescriptionA deep dive into creating tabletop experiences for those with dementia. Learn practical techniques to adapt challenge levels, offer visual cues, and foster meaningful social connections through play.
Long DescriptionHow do we create meaningful play when memory and processing speed decline? This workshop moves from theory to practice. Participants will engage in a mini-design sprint, applying accessibility-first concepts to existing game loops. We will cover how to adapt challenge levels, use physical cues to guide players, and foster social connection without the stress of complex rules. Whether you are building a new game or adapting a classic for a loved one with cognitive challenges, you will leave with a toolkit of inclusive design patterns. Perfect for designers, occupational therapists, and caregivers seeking to engage with their loved ones.
