      ab: A systematic review of evidence for the effectiveness of modification of activity demands in the care of people with Alzheimer's disease (AD) was conducted as part of the American Occupational Therapy Association's Evidence-Based Literature Review Project. The review included 10 articles addressing occupations of selfcare and leisure. No reports related to work and social participation were located. Results suggest that evidence for this intervention's effectiveness is strong. Four practice principles were derived from this appraisal: (1) Occupational therapy programs should be individualized to elicit the person's highest level of retained skill and interest, (2) cues used while assisting people with AD to complete tasks should be short and provide clear direction, (3) compensatory strategies in the form of environmental modifications and simple adaptive equipment should be specifically implemented on the basis of the unique needs of the person, and (4) caregiver training and involvement are essential in implementing individualized programs.
