Course overview
This training course gives you clear guidelines for understanding the needs of the elderly and the central role of games (paper and digital) in cognitive stimulation, social bonding, and individual self-esteem.
You’ll learn how to introduce the tablet in a reassuring way, adapt activities to different profiles (autonomous, frail, cognitively impaired), and establish simple, soothing rituals. Through practical advice and directly usable tools, you’ll learn how to organize sessions, remove obstacles, encourage participation without infantilizing, and integrate digital solutions like SCARLETT and CLINT to support memory, attention, and language, both in nursing homes and at home.
