The Adapted Montessori Method

In 1995, Dr. Cameron J. Camp, a psychologist, modified Dr. Maria Montessori’s educational method to suit elderly individuals with cognitive impairments, focusing on normalization. This adaptation is now known as the Montessori Inspired Lifestyle® for dementia care or the adapted Montessori method. Learn more about the method and the adaptation here.

The Montessori Dementia Center is proud to be the exclusive Canadian licensee and training partner of Dr. Camp and the renowned Center for Applied Research in Dementia (CARD). Learn more about implementing the Montessori Inspired Lifestyle®  in your community.
