Judy Miller’s Not Ready for the Farm: Dementia Care: The Help You Wish You Had Sooner
In this episode, we sit down with Teepa Snow MS, OTR/L, FAOTA and Amanda Bulgarelli of the Snow Approach Foundation in Hillsborough, NC for a powerful conversation about what it truly means to support people living with brain change. Drawing from her decades of experience developing the Positive Approach to Care framework, Teepa breaks down how changing how we think about and respond to behaviors can radically improve everyday interactions and reduce stress for both care partners and those they support. You’ll come away with clear, real-world strategies—like how to work with someone living with brain change rather than doing things to them—and a richer understanding of what it means to maintain dignity, connection, and shared purpose in care.
