Occupational Therapy and Dementia Interventions

Addressing the challenges of occupational therapy and dementia is such a rewarding area of practice. But how can we truly use our skills to engage our patients, teach staff and care partners these skills and help our patient’s thrive?

My guest Jenna Mele OTD, OTR/L, CCCM, RYT, gives some great tips, resources and practical ways to work with our patients that have dementia so they can be as independent and successful as possible through building skills for engagement!
