“Let me be your memory”
Cognitive Dynamics is pleased to announce a new digital audio reminiscence preservation initiative in collaboration with The Voice Library and Tuscaloosa Magnet School, titled “Let me be your memory.” In this innovative program, students from Tuscaloosa Magnet School will capture audio memories in the form of stories, poems, readings, etc. in honor of those with Alzheimer’s disease and their caregivers, to raise awareness during National Alzheimer’s Month. This collaborative project will be the first of its kind, and will hopefully be the pilot for others like it.
Over the next several weeks students from Tuscaloosa Magnet School will capture reminiscences powered through The Voice Library’s website. These memories, which can be recorded digitally on computer or digital recorder, or over the phone, will then be uploaded as MP3 recordings to a named library, which can be accessed by anyone given permission.
The resulting library of recordings will help to raise awareness for National Alzheimer’s Month. Furthermore, intergenerational relationships will be fostered, and life stories of those with Alzheimer’s disease will be preserved at a time when they are being lost. Persons with the disease will be validated through the experience, and human dignity will be fostered.
