She is Amira Choukair Tame, and is the author of “Healing the Wounds of Alzheimer’s,” Amira was one of the outstanding presenters at this year’s Advanced CLL Workshop. Amira’s books and CD are ‘must-have’ resources for everyone who cares about a person with Alzheimer’s. Her methods can be understood and used effectively by almost anybody at any level, professionals, volunteers, friends, and family members, too.
Amira, your work really touches people and moves them. You inspire others to action.”
“While I was participating in the Alzheimer’s Activities Workshop on March 24, 2005, I observed how each person reacting to the techniques that Amira was showing them. I encouraged one of our residents, Mary, to participate. Mary has a hearing and speech impairment and dementia. Mary sits for hours a day smiling and never participates in our activities. During this particular activity she was watching Amira and she began to sing the song with us. This was a tremendous accomplishment. Amira definitely has the skill to search inside a senior citizen and bring out their inner feelings and talents. I was impressed with the workshop and found Amira’s advice to be very beneficial.”
