REMINISCENCE BASED MULTIMODAL SENSORY STIMULATION
KEITH S. SAVELL, Ph.D., C.T.R.S.
SIENNA BOOTHMAN, B.S., C.T.R.S.
Reminiscence Based Multimodal Sensory Stimulation (RBMSS) is a program
designed to enhance cognitive functioning through direct stimulation of each of the
five senses: olfactory (smell), tactile (touch), auditory (sound), gustatory (taste) and
vision. This "best practice" approach to sensory stimulation is most appropriate for
the lower functioning resident who
- is limited in his/her ability to interact with the environment due to
physical and/or cognitive limitations;
- has minimal ability to interact in a meaningful manner with his/her
environment and may experience difficulty expressing needs, wants
desires and/or emotions;
- has demonstrated ADL (self care) deficits - requiring moderate to
maximum assistance within all ADL areas;
- demonstrates physically non-aggressive behavior such as
wandering, restlessness or repetitive movement; and
- displays passive behaviors such as social isolation, disengagement
and/or emotional withdrawal.
