Learn About Trauma-Informed Montessori Dementia Care - It's Not Just Dementia

Lori La Bey talks with Rev. Katie Norris who is a Montessori for Aging (AMI) and Dementia Practitioner and primary author of "Creative Connections in Dementia Care." She started in dementia care 14 years ago and has taught families, churches, nursing care facilities, and other AMI students Montessori-based care. 

Jeffrey Norris started as a care partner at just 6 years old when he and his family were live-in care partners for his grandma (Katie's mom) who had Lewy Body Dementia. He often volunteered as a young child, guiding Montessori dementia activities, and then joined Katie in coaching other families and organizations a few years ago.
