Dementia Sensory Lap Mat

"I have worked as an aged care nurse for 15 years and I have looked after many patients with dementia. I wanted to create a dementia sensory lap mat using recycled jewellery and other items that had great texture on the surface. Over the years I have noticed agitated patients who use these mats become calm and contented. They will sit and touch all the items and interact with the items such as the zippers and buttons."
