Travels With My Aunt: Dementia is a journey, not a destination
Travels With My Aunt: #dementia is a journey, not a destination
“Dementia is a journey, not a destination.” Learn how to pack for the trip! In this innovative and upbeat approach, Susan uses travel as a metaphor to help people embrace changes in speech and behavior that often accompany memory loss. Drawing from her clinical experience and twenty years as a caregiver, she shares real-life stories to illustrate specific characteristics and methods for improving communication at each step along the way. Participants will gain a better understanding of behavior as communication, the four elements present in all forms of dementia, how to cope with non-compliance, and the three things that matter most for quality of life. This program is designed to help family and friends fully engage, minimize stress, and enjoy their time together.

She began her career as a translator/interpreter for the Italian Ministry of Defense and later transitioned to clinical work as a speech-language pathologist.
