One-line: a dementia-communication reaction trainer with NO winning moves — only responses that join her reality or abandon it.

Why this kit exists

Dementia training teaches facts, safety and tasks; the moments demand presence. Using truth as a wall, self-defending against accusations, re-announcing a death — all technically correct, all relationally fatal. The feeling-first reflex contradicts every correctness instinct life rewards, so it must be practiced.

What the artifact does

Four moments — the morning question, the theft accusation, sundowning at the door, the husband who is coming. Each scored on one lens: join or abandon. The anatomy is named in every feedback (honour the emotion, skip the false fact, give the feeling somewhere to go). The therapeutic-fib debate is scored MID and discussed honestly.

The design decisions worth noticing

• No winning — the deliberate absence of a score-winning move forces the real learning: accompaniment has no victory condition
• Truth-as-wall — the accurate-but-cruel response is the taught anti-pattern, not a strawman
• The fib debate — the gentlest lie scores mid and gets full discussion; no clean answers are pretended

Honest limitations

Validation-approach informed but simplified; real care decisions belong to the MDT and the person's care plan. Moments are composites, not case files. All learner-facing copy (scenarios, options, feedback, debrief) runs in Dutch — the language of the ward; this documentation and the case-study page stay English for portfolio readers.
