Hear from Jennifer Brush, MA, CCC/SLP, an award-winning Dementia Educator, author and consultant. Passionate about enriching the lives of people with dementia, Jennifer is on a mission to put the focus of care on the person’s preferences, interests and abilities. She has combined Dr. Montessori’s philosophy of learning and living with what we know about aging and dementia care best practices. It is not a technique, task or intervention. It’s a way of living one’s life to the fullest extent possible.
Montessori Philosophy:
Respect the person
Create a prepared environment
Observe in order to learn about the person
Encourage independence
Provide meaningful work
Remember that learning and engagement can occur anywhere
