Being an Occupational Therapist makes me very happy. To me it means enabling and empowering people to do more of what they love, want and need to do.

There can be many factors related to reduced eating & drinking in dementia. An over-stimulating environment, dentition, changed food preferences or even new appetite experience. It’s not always a swallowing disorder. Consider everything. #WithSLTuCan
