"It's Our Gang" - Promoting Social Inclusion for People with Dementia by Using Digital Communication Support in a Group Activity.

CONCLUSIONS: Taking part in a group activity targeting communication made participants with dementia feel that they were part of a social group, that they had learnt things, and that they had been able to contribute with their expertise to others. CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS: Group activities targeting communication give people with dementia the opportunity to exercise their social inclusion practices. Group activities may render a feeling of social community and a sense of belonging to the participants. The use of digital communication support may enhance such activities.
