THE GREEN HOUSE ® Project is excited to welcome Teepa Snow, MS, OTR/L, FAOTA as a keynote speaker at the 5th Green House Annual Meeting and Celebration. Teepa Snow is a dementia expert and a certified Occupational Therapist, who brings a unique, person-centered perspective to engaging with people living with dementia. Teepa’s techniques, highlighting in the video, Accepting The Challenge, are utilized during Core Team Education, an important part of The Green House Project’s comprehensive education plan.

The Green House Annual Meeting is an exclusive event for organizations who are trademarked Green House homes.
