Let's go for a walk! is a communication aid for relatives of people affected by dementia related to Alzheimer's disease. It consists of three tools for the facilitation of physical and emotional interaction that also stimulate muscle activity and prolong mutual communication. Families face serious changes in the behaviour of a person with dementia, and they must also deal with grief and fear that their loved one does not recognise them anymore. These feelings and symptoms create alienation and difficulties in finding a common theme for conversation. Therefore, this group of items is equipped with interchangeable surfaces made of various materials and colourful elements, which assist in the formation of associations by simulating former common activities such as walks, skiing, etc.
