Project: Aging Awareness Simulation
Lead: Dr. Jeanne Lord (HSCL)
Collaborator: Dr. Kathleen O'Rourke (HSCL)
The aging awareness simulation project is an experiential learning process that is designed to educate students on the various changes that can be characteristic of older adults during the aging process. Students will learn through experiencing, sharing, processing, and applying what it can feel like to grow older and what happens to our bodies as we age. A guided process will include such activities as experiencing changes in vision, hearing, touch and dexterity, and taste and smell. Following each guided activity, discussion questions will be used to debrief.
