Reading and Speaking Groups for Older Adults
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests whether participating in group reading and oral exercise activities can benefit older adults' wellbeing and cognitive health. You'll meet with others to read and discuss, which may help with memory, mood, and social connection.
