Crayons and Brushes Provide Escape from Alzheimer's
JULY 07, 2010Faith H. Robinson, CNN
Tania Becker, president of the board of the Spruill Center in Atlanta, developed the Arts 4 Alzheimer's program with the help of the Museum of Modern Art in New York and the Alzheimer's Association.
This program helps Alzheimer's patients and their caregivers escape the disease, even if only for a few hours. "One of the ways to get to people with Alzheimer's is to engage them through art, because art is so creative," says Becker.
