  According to Perspectives of People with Dementia About Meaningful Activities: A Synthesis^^2^^, the three main themes wich relate to meaningful activities are the connection to self, to others, and to the environment. The tasks which can help accomplish these needs are varied and may also target more than one need at a time.
++We believe that the most important value for the people with dementia is retaining the control over their lives, and not having to rely on others to complete their daily tasks and tend to their basic needs.

  ====Autonomy====
  Autonomy mainly relates to the conntection to self. People with dementia want to be in control of their lives and to live as normally as possible, despite their illness. To this end, they should be able to make decisions on their own, but also be provided with help when they seek it. In terms of relation to the environment, homeliness and familiarity are imporant factors which help people with dementia feel at ease, so a familiar environment in which they feel "in control" can provide autonomy.
