Whether you are a professional in the Health Care Industry, a friend, a First Responder, or a family member of someone living with dementia, Teepa Snow is world renowned for her useful information that service providers can begin utilizing immediately. Teepa’s GEMS® States classification system (based on the Allen Cognitive Disability Theory) helps you to understand which state of brain change the person is experiencing, and how to respond appropriately. Teepa created her GEMS® States 20 years ago. We want to know which ALF use her techniques and strategies in 2023.
