What is SPECAL?

SPECAL ('Specialized Early Care for Alzheimer's') is a charitable organisation with an innovative approach to the care of people with dementia, offering a different and successful way of managing the disease for both the person with dementia and their family.

SPECAL provides a range of courses, services, advice and information to promote the lifelong well-being for people with dementia. Core to these courses is the concept of the SPECAL Photograph Album©.

The SPECAL Photograph Album© is the unique model we use to explain why and how lifelong well-being can be achieved. It uses the analogy of a photograph album to demonstrate how memory works, what happens as we grow older, and the specific change which occurs with dementia.

A more in-depth paper about the SPECAL Photograph Album© can be found in our Literature section.
