In this masterclass, Jackie will aim to build your confidence in delivering activities for people at all levels of cognitive ability. This will be achieved by:

  • You understanding the underpinning theory of the PAL Instrument
  • Practicing using the PAL Instrument
  • Exploring how to get the most out of the PAL Guides for individual and group activities
  • Planning how to implement the use of the PAL into your place of work
  • The sharing of ideas and asking of questions to promote discussion and optimum learning

More about the PAL Instrument

The PAL Instrument uses a strengths-based approach, opposed to where we only focus on the difficulties people with dementia might have and disable them. It contains a valid and reliable assessment tool for assessing the overall level of individual cognitive and functional ability.

A PAL Guide that describes how to support the person at that level of ability is produced from the completed assessment. The PAL Instrument is a widely used framework in care settings across the UK and around the world.

You can download the PAL Instrument for free below before joining our masterclass!
