CONVERSATION STARTERS AS EASY AS A B C 1 2 3
"How to start conversations with people who have memory loss"
By Devora Kaye and Gabi Roussos

When two eighth-grade students began a service learning project at a day care center for people living with memory loss, they recognized the difficulties in being comfortable in this new and unfamiliar setting. They realized that many young people would benefit by spending time at this setting and similar ones around the country.

That's when DEVORA KAYE and GABI ROUSSOS, both middle school students, collaborated on this innovative and creative publication which includes:

• An introduction with smart advice for young volunteers
• 26 alphabet pages of conversation starters--easy to use and fun to color
• A complimentary kid-friendly brochure, also written by Devora and Gabi, about OPICA -- Optimistic Persons In a Caring Atmosphere, the Los Angeles center where the students are involved in service learning

An excellent example of young people seeing a need and taking the initiative to make a difference. Can be used to educate youth about how to interact respectfully with people who have Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, or who had a stroke. This book is also a model of a student publication that reaches out to multiple communities.

A portion of all sales will be donated to OPICA.
