Travels with My Aunt

A novel approach to helping people recognize the signs and stages of dementia and respond appropriately, TRAVELS WITH MY AUNT traces the journey of dementia over a 20 year period through a narrative of vignettes- true stories- illustrating the changes in memory and reasoning, coupled with recommendations for improving communication at each step. Topics include behavior as communication, dealing with repetitive phone calls and questions, not eating, retiring from driving, and making the move.

An interactive program, participants are invited to share and stage their own stories and problem solve.
