Clients with dementia in an adult day care center were observed taking part in regular activities programming or Montessori-based activities developed for persons with dementia. During the nine-month study, clients in Montessori-based activities exhibited greater amounts of constructive engagement, defined as motor or verbal behavior exhibited in response to the activity in which the client was taking part, than clients in regular programming. Montessori-based activities also elicited less passive engagement, defined as listening and/or looking behavior exhibited in response to the activity the clients were participating in, than regular programming. Implications of these results and ways to implement Montessori-based programming in settings serving persons with dementia are discussed.
