Getting Curious with Teepa Snow
Teepa Snow, MS, OTR/L, FAOTA, is an Occupational Therapist with over forty years of rich and varied clinical and academic experience. Her experiences led her to the development of the GEMS® States of Brain Change and the Positive Approach® training strategies.
Her company, Positive Approach to Care® (PAC), provides online and in-person education and products to support those living with brain change. She also founded the Snow Approach Foundation, a nonprofit organization based in Hillsborough, North Carolina. Teepa presents with extraordinary expertise and humor to audiences throughout the world.
After several former podcast guests spoke so highly of Teepa Snow and her Positive Approach to Care, I invited her to be a guest on the podcast, knowing that many of the listeners are caregivers looking after a loved one living with dementia. In this episode we hear directly from Teepa including her own caregiving story.
When we get curious about the actions, behaviour and communication of a loved one living with dementia we can use the information they provide to support them where they need support. By getting curious, things can change.
Check out Teepa's website for great information; and her YouTube channel for videos addressing specific situations.
