Corresponding author: Gitte Rasmussen, email: gitter@sdu.dk terms of preparing food, cooking, and dining are co-managed by professional caregivers and people with dementia in a home environment, a residential care home, and a day care centre in Sweden.The multi-modal analyses demonstrate how the timely availability of an object, e.g. a colander, a pot, cooking ingredients, is crucial for the management of the activities in which the object should be used. This point is substantiated by analyses of how difficulties in managing the sequential order of such activities may occur by reference to when and where the object is put in place for use in the activity. Furthermore, the paper demonstrates how such troubles are solved by arranging and rearranging the working space by repositioning the object and by providing timely instructions concerning its use. Samuelsson and Ekström (this volume), "Digital communication support in interaction involving people with dementia" addresses the question of whether conversations between persons with dementia and professional caregivers, in this case in Sweden, may be enhanced through digital communication support. The authors study and compare how conversations unfold without communication support, and how they unfold when co-conversationalists draw upon digitalized communication support with generic content that is provided through photos, videos and sound files or personalized content which is provided through photos and videos. The comparative analyses of these conversations are based on video-recordings. The authors supplement these analyses with semi-structured interviews to get insights into the co-conversationalist descriptions of their experiences with having conversations with and without digitalized communication support. The study concludes that the two types of communication support result in more symmetrical conversations as compared to non-supported conversations, as they enhance the possibilities of persons with dementia to take initiative, initiate new topics and maintain conversation, all of which is challenged in conversations without support. The positive results are supported by the descriptions of the co-conversationalists, and so the study points to possible solutions to communicative challenges in rehabilitation and person-centered care.
