Get early intervention medically. If possible get onto a drug trial,
its a very fast moving feild out there. Gental reminiccance therapy
will be of benifit. Play old songs from the past, adverts, tv
programmes (theme tunes), items from the past, visit places with
meaning from the past you get the picture. You could do this and
then try to stretch the brain with newer stimuli learning.<br>

<p>...and remember that their bodies usually do not fully work.<br>
A "full body experience" is less useful, in most cases, than
