Welcome to Alzheimer's Speaks Radio where we listen to all voices at all levels regarding Alzheimer's disease and other dementias. 

Our first guest will be Zounds Franchise Owner Christopher Poletto.  We are going to have a very conversation about hearing loss, stigmas, perceptions, myths, the testing process (which I went through and found very interesting), new technology and a study on Alzheimer's & dementias.

Rae-Lynn Cebul Ziegler is the author of Let's Look Together
An Interactive Picture Book for People with Alzheimer’s and Other Forms of Memory Loss.  I think you will be surprised at what you learn via her research and how it can help both professionals and family members.

Rae-Lynn’s professional experience in occupational therapy and specialty certification in sensory integration (learning theory based on how the body’s nervous system takes in information and then organizes it for meaningful daily use) sparked the concept of how the book was created to work. She successfully engaged minds that were less able to concentrate and respond.  The book is a tool to empower supportive communication, meaningful interactions – to keep, and maintain connections both neurological and relational!

Michelle Remold is one of Alzheimer's Speaks interns.  Come hear her story and why she is a passionate advocate for dementia and what she is doing to make a difference.  If you have not read any of her blog posts, I encourage you to do so.  Michelle always shares great insights on how we can make a difference to shift our dementia care culture.

We are thrilled to have Teepa Snow with us today on the show.  I consider Teepa one of my mentors in the industry.  She is exceptional at not only what she does, but how she shares information with both staff and the public.  Teepa uses real life situations and then gives simple senarios to change outcomes.  To use the word "Brilliant" to describe Teepa does not do her justice.

Check out her up coming courses at the Historic Academy of Medicine at Georgia Tech
