This one hour and 16 minute educational lecture describes current trends in the aging population across the United States. The baby boomers, estimated to be as large as 78,000 are expected to hit the mean age of 65 years old by 2010, thus becoming the largest senior citizen cohort to date in the United States. This new face of “old” is detailed through photographs of community art programs and senior centers, dispelling previously perceived notions of aging. 

The significance of how the brain ages and how to keep the brain active and engaged will be exemplified through recent neuroscience research findings. Therapeutic Thematic Arts Programming (TTAP Method©), an easy to follow 9-step creative arts programming, has been created as a means to provide a multi-modal, person-centered approach to enhance stimulating activities for older adults. Learn how conversation, guided imagery, painting, sculpture and other forms of the creative arts can directly impact the lives of older individuals socially, emotionally, cognitively and physically.
