Books
My books are written for people who want to understand dementia behaviors more clearly — without blame, jargon, or unrealistic expectations.
They’re designed to be read at your own pace and returned to as understanding evolves.
Meaningful Activities
As cognitive abilities change, a person’s need for meaning, respect, and connection does not. When activities reflect who someone is — not just what they can or cannot do — engagement feels safer, calmer, and more sustaining.
The activities shared here are designed to support adult identity, respect life experience, and create moments of genuine connection — without talking down, infantilizing, or reducing a person to a diagnosis.
These kits are built on a dignity-first, role-centered framework.
Roles protect dignity by preserving choice and contribution—without turning engagement into a test.
If activities have started to trigger refusal, agitation, or shutdown, role-based engagement often feels calmer and more workable.
