Color Connection activities are created with adaptive visual design to support people living with dementia at different stages of cognitive change.

Instead of one single coloring page, each affirmation includes three versions of the same scene. This allows caregivers to choose the version that feels most comfortable and engaging.

●○○  – Gentle Early Engagement
Bold outlines and familiar, fully developed scenes with more visual detail. Designed to support independent coloring while offering a richer, more engaging experience. Ideal for moments when focus and creative expression feel more accessible.

●●○ Level 2 – Supported Flow
Simplified scenes with clear, recognizable forms that provide gentle visual guidance. Designed for supported sessions where engagement feels easier while still maintaining a sense of independence. Ideal for shared moments that feel natural rather than instructional.

●●● Level 3 – Calm Soothing Focus

Both experiences are meaningful.

Research Insight
