Multilingual Apps are Here!

August 28, 2019/ Juanita Atton

Over the last few weeks, we have been busy working on expanding our range of accessible apps. As you may have noticed, we now have a new browsing tab dedicated to multilingual games some of which include all-time favorites such as Battleship and Shuffle Bowling.

In the coming weeks, we will also be adding brand new traditional Spanish card and board games for both single player and multiplayer gameplay!

If there is a particular kind of game or activity that you would like us to look into, please get in touch, either in the comments section of this post (below), by sending us a message or through Twitter. We'd love to hear your ideas and if we can find an app that meets our high standards for people living with dementia, we'll post it on the site.

AcTo Dementia

AcTo Dementia is a resource for people who are looking for support in identifying touchscreen activities for people living with dementia. The website contains reviews of apps that have been selected as potentially suitable for people with dementia, information on how to use touchscreen tablets in this context and a guide for users to access so that they can identify suitable apps themselves. It also contains news and publications from our specialist research group comprising researchers from the University of Sheffield in the UK and the University of Toronto in Canada.
