@BatFoundation Therapy Table is a specifically devised Table Tennis Therapeutic Experience for those living with dementia, and their carers. Designed to counter the visual deprivations that are experienced in the early stages of the condition. #WorldAlzheimersDay@alzheimerssoc
Here's hoping, but in the meantime, our drug free table tennis alternative to medicine gives Alzheimer's patients a social, healthy activity as well as a chance to have some fun.
