 Judith has recently released the book, Activities to Do with Your Parent with Alzheimer's Dementia. In the book, she draws from her past work experience as an occupational therapist and her current role as a child of a parent with Alzheimer's Dementia, to provide a selection of user-friendly activities that can help maintain a parent's self-care skills, mobility, and socialization. She claims these tasks will encourage success and feelings of self-worth and offer imaginative ways to interact with someone with Alzheimer's Dementia.
