“The goal of helping people with impaired abilities is to allow them to do everything they can while helping them accomplish what they cannot.”
Peter V. Rabins, Is It Alzheimer's?: 101 Answers to Your Most Pressing Questions about Memory Loss and Dementia

“This approach shares an assumption, one dating from the ancient Greeks, that human reasoning can be a source of knowledge.”
Peter V. Rabins, The Why of Things: Causality in Science, Medicine, and Life

“For people developing difficulty using a knife but still able to use other utensils, cutting their food in the kitchen before bringing it to the table will enable them to feed themselves with a fork and spoon. This means they are fully independent. Since there is no knife at their place setting, you have also helped them avoid the utensil they have difficulty with. “Talking people through” tasks they are having difficulty with—that is, explaining each step as you go—may calm them and allow them to accept help with dressing, bathing, getting up from a chair, and feeding themselves.”
