He witnessed people thought to be nonverbal, singing to songs they were familiar with and clapping to songs they weren’t. He learned that he could use music as a tool to elicit strong emotions and also calm and give comfort to those who needed it. He graduated from Indiana University in 2002, with a B.A., and an emphasis in Human Behavioral Science with a minor in Social Psychology. From his first experience with Alzheimer’s disease, he learned that through observation, non-verbal and verbal communication, he could effectively communicate with people who were diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease and considered non-commutative, by observing their actions and locating “their reality.” Once this was accomplished, he used two simple techniques to communicate and “redirect” what some people call “behaviors,” meaning negative behaviors. Although these techniques were not successful all the time, with every success, Michael was rewarded. Now he would like to share these simple techniques, so you can have the same positive results and see that communication is possible with those you love.view less
