Alzheimer's Speaks

We are thrilled to have Geert Bettinger, a Dementia Behavioralist back with us.  Geert is from the Netherlands, but travels the world spreading his message which helps us all have better relationships by having a better understanding of what a behavior is and why it exists.  His sensible and compassionate approach will change the way you think about an unwanted reaction and how you deal with it, no matter if you are dealing with a person with dementia, your partner, a friend or a child.
