Also joining them is Jeffrey Norris, Katie’s son who 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.
