Adaptive Publications Providing Social, Cultural, and Spiritual

Lori La Bey talks with a variety of founders who are providing a variety of adaptive reading publications. This is a fabulous show that can be life-enriching for not just those living with dementia but for all older eyes! I think you will be amazed at all the resources we discussed and why they were developed.

  • How enabling people to continue to read had a major effect on health and wellness.
  • Why a coalition of Adaptive Publications is critical to getting the word out these tools are available.
  • How are these products different and why?
  • Examples of how these “social prescriptions” are meeting a huge need in the reading industry.
  • Hear examples of how dignity, respect, and engagement are maintained.
