Product Details

This product is available in French only.

Huguette Visits Expo 67 is a reminiscence book designed specifically for people living with moderate cognitive impairment. Through 32 pages of authentic archival photos from the 1967 Montreal World's Fair, it offers a shared reading experience that can stimulate long-term memory and meaningful conversation between a reader and their loved one.

The text uses short sentences and simple vocabulary to support comprehension, with an airy layout that reduces visual fatigue. Each page includes conversation prompts and reading tips to help family members and caregivers guide the experience. The book was developed and tested with both families and healthcare professionals to ensure it meets the practical needs of dementia care.

  • Huguette Visits Expo 67 is suitable for people living with moderate cognitive impairment who respond well to visual memory prompts.
  • Huguette Visits Expo 67 is suitable for family caregivers looking for a structured, low-barrier activity to share with a loved one.
  • Huguette Visits Expo 67 is suitable for professional caregivers and care communities seeking a validated reminiscence therapy tool for group or one-on-one use.

People living with cognitive impairment often retain stronger access to long-term memories than recent ones. Reminiscence-based activities that draw on familiar periods, places, or events can support communication, mood, and a sense of identity, even as other cognitive functions decline.

Most available tools for reminiscence work require caregivers to source and organize materials themselves. Huguette Visits Expo 67 offers a ready-to-use, professionally designed alternative, with adapted text, curated archival images, and built-in conversation guides. The fact that it was developed and validated with families and healthcare professionals adds an additional layer of confidence for caregivers who want something purpose-built rather than improvised.
