Every Picture Tells a Story- with James Rosenberger“Every Picture Tells a Story” (EPTAS) is an image-based program created by Therapeutic Storyteller and Musician, James D. Rosenberger. For the past eight years his monthly, themed programs offered through Audible Therapies (www.audibletherapies.com), have been warmly embraced by activity professionals from skilled nursing on up to independent living communities. Based on these experiences, he has learned to tailor programs to the cognition levels of a specific audience and setting. Mr. Rosenberger begins to involve people with his trademark music offerings and then the interactive story fun begins!

Developed originally for people with all levels of dementia and in memory care units, EPTAS proves residents with memory loss can still create, imagine, and have fun. Through an interactive «show and tell» of a variety of fanciful to real images, Mr. Rosenberger guides participants to share and create a spontaneous story by reacting and considering what›s happening in the images provided. There are several program types to choose from:

EPTAS A—“Greatest Hits”, a diverse collection of people, persons and things taken from Mr. Rosenberger’s 40+ years of photos.

21

EPTAS B—“About Africa” a travelogue of imagery from his 2014 Safari adventures in 4 different countries

EPTAS C—“Pursuing Peru” a travelogue of visits throughout this South American country examining its people, sites and customs

EPTAS D—“The Black & White Edition” featuring selections from the Canton, Ohio Historical Society’s glass plate negatives taken in the early 1900’s and other black and white images from Mr. Rosenberger’s archives.

Due to the nature of the imagery playback which comes from an iPad, for audiences larger than 15 in number, the facility will need to provide the following: for groups 20-40, a microphone with stand (preferably wireless) and PA, plus a large (at least 25” diagonal screen) TV or Monitor which takes a VGA or HDMI input. For audiences larger than 40, the same audio requirements plus a video projector and screen are recommended, again with a VGA or HDMI input.
