Preschool Materials for Teachers and Parents
Montana State University Extension is piloting Alzheimer’s Disease Awareness for Children: Storybook Series. The program helps parents educate and support their children and families who may
be experiencing a family member or neighbor with Alzheimer’s disease. This program
also provides materials for teachers to educate preschool children about Alzheimer's
disease.
Alzheimer’s disease is rapidly growing in the United States. According to the 2020
Alzheimer’s Disease Facts and Figures Report, one in three seniors dies with Alzheimer’s
or another dementia. When a family member has Alzheimer’s, everyone in that family
is affected, including children. Montana State University Extension has developed
this storybook series with the goal to increase awareness and knowledge about Alzheimer’s
disease among children and their parents. We want to provide supportive resources
to children and families in Montana who may know someone with the disease.
