My research interest lies primarily in the field of art therapy and how improve communication strategies of art therapists who work with people in late stages of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) in order to improve their psychological well-being. My research examines whether art therapy interventions that adapted to the disease related visual deficits and directed on utilizing remaining visual capabilities of people effected by the disease can facilitate their emotional expression and communication. Art therapists advocate that art making can be beneficial to individuals affected by AD as it facilitates their self-expression through sensory stimulation, creativity, and social interaction. Unfortunately, research that validates interventions directed toward maximizing the remaining capacities of individuals with late stage AD and promotion of the adaptation to their disease-related deficits remains scarce.My research presents a unique multidisciplinary approach to creating art therapy interventions that may be beneficial and therapeutic to the clients in the advanced stages of AD that unites art therapy, neuroscience and psychology. AD affects not only the cognitive facilities but sensory functions as well. Sensory deficits considerably impact the daily lives of individuals with AD, increasing their social isolation. In order to understand the experience of living with this debilitating disease, professional fields have begun to pay attention to neurobiological research that can provide insights on the disease related sensory deficits.
