Why do aging
adults come to see Dr. Markus?
This is a screen shot of a Progressions Exercise:
| • |
They feel "out
of the loop" and want to maintain an interest
in life and new things. |
| • |
They want to learn the
underlying skills they need to learn and use new technologies. |
| • |
They have difficulty remembering
new things. |
| • |
They have trouble attending
to details. |
| • |
They want to regenerate
their ability to take risks. |
| • |
They have difficulty multitasking. |
| • |
They have problems going
from one task to the next. |
| • |
They want to stimulate
their visual perception. |
Research has shown that like other muscles brain function
is a use it or lose it proposition. The more aging adults
challenge and use their minds, the more agile their brains
remain. The aging adult program is designed to help older
individuals improve their mental flexibility, problem solving
and memory. Aging adults who have worked with Dr. Markus
say that they concentrate better, have become better communicators,
and feel more confident in their ability to handle their
day-to-day lives.
