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. This six-day training prepares staff to work in The Green House homes and includes an exploration of Green House philosophy, coaching communication, and developing skills to interact effectively with people who have dementia. The Green House Annual Meeting is an exclusive event for organizations who are trademarked Green House homes. This will be a great opportunity for the attendees to refresh their knowledge of Teepa’s philosophy, and to express their gratitude for how these techniques have impacted the elders living with dementia in their Green House homes.
