PhD researcher Emma Harding introduces her social science work which involves observing people living with PCA in their own homes.

This step demonstrates how the arts and creative problem-finding solutions penetrate the lives of people living with a dementia in the day-to-day settings of their own homes, often serving as a means of connecting with a wide range of human emotions. This is often the case even if people don’t consider themselves to be creative or having a connection with the arts.
