My writing passion is for educational, digestible articles that can help people better understand how to interact with dementia successfully.
My blog, ABC Dementia, aims to enable readers to understand and "Appreciate Behavioral Communication in Dementia" - in other words, most of the "behavior problems" common in dementia can be better managed when understood through the lens of communication.
In addition to writing blog posts, articles and training material, I enjoy reading research studies. I also understand basic SEO best practices.
I love learning and am typically open to developing new skills, so I'd be happy to hear what you have in mind.
Anything under the umbrella of senior care, long term care, caring for the caregiver or other related topics I can likely tackle with gusto.
