Obviously, I am not blogging very often lately, mostly due to my brain being unable to focus on more than my new studies, and DAI matters. However, as requested, attached is an updated PDF version of the model of ‘care’ vs the pathways of disAbility support I advocate for, which people with dementia have a human right to and not only Prescribed Disengagement®, as is done most often prescribed to us currently… hope this one works for those of you who kindly told me you could not read it as a screen shot from my book, due to the size.

Thanks girlfriend… also, would you mind if I connected you with an RN in the UK, who is wanting someone to write a Foreword or piece for the back cover of a book he has written on Doll Therapy? x
Hi darling Kate,
I would be delighted to write something for your friend in the UK so please send my details to him.
And thank you so much my friend for thinking of me and having enough faith in my work to put me forward to your friend. It means so much and I feel very honored and humbled. I look forward to hearing from him. Yay.
You are just too fabulous, and BTW – am loving your book. One day you are going to sign it for me!!!!!!
Love and smiles always.xxxxxx
I emailed you both yesterday… Gary Mitchell is his name, from the UK. And yes, if signing it means we get to have a hug and chat, you’re on! xx

We shall make that chat and hug happen. I shall make sure of it. Somehow, somewhere……..

Thanks Susan, and I am grateful as always to my darling husband for helping us move this forward! xx
This is an essential Topic
The Moment Dementia is recognized and Stated in a Clear Language by the UN Convention we achieved a Lot.
Next step will be how the Individual countries – national policies make it real .
We Need OUR VOICES and the political Support !
ADI as Well as AE Are the ones to fight with us !
Indeed we need the support of everyone now dear Helga… no longer are words of support good enough or acceptable, we want ACTION to match their rhetoric.
Thanks so much for this Kate. I will use it on my Blog very soon.
Fab… and sorry it’s been a bit of a disaster getting one here that is readable and usable!!
