Diana, RN, BSN, CDP-Certified Dementia Practitioner, applies her out of the box approach to care of individuals suffering from memory loss. Over the last 30+ years she has worked to eliminate physical, psychological and chemical restraint use in care facilities. Her key to success has been through focusing on the social needs of the person. As a national speaker, a consultant, a researcher and a writer she strives to share simple, practical techniques that can make both family member caregivers and professionals, experts in memory care. 

As a Certified Dementia Practitioner my goal is to “open the gates” of the learners’ minds to different approaches for everyday challenges facing family member caregivers and professionals when dealing with individuals suffering from memory loss.
