Provider Testimonials
The Flashback activity provided non-stop fun and engagement. Our group members and volunteer staff enjoyed selecting their photo cards and then taking turns reminiscing about them. As an activity director, I was very encouraged to see how the activity enabled my less verbal group members to come alive and participate. The Flashback activity made our day both enjoyable and memorable!
