Thesis / Dissertation Description

This paper will address the barriers to communication and connection that individuals within the geriatric population with Major Neurocognitive Disorders experience. Examples are provided that support how Dance/Movement Therapy can work towards rebuilding communication and connection skills by using weight/grounding and rhythm while engaging in body percussion. The examples are supported with four case examples providing specific examples of how this work with body percussion was applied to Dance/Movement Therapy groups at my clinical internship at a nursing home in Westchester, New York.
