| Keynote Summary: This lived experience presentation will share Katie’s personal journey as a young-onset dementia caregiver to both her husband and father. Her experiences of love and loss have been the catalyst for her professional passion as the Director of Caregiver Support Services and Public Relations for the Massachusetts General Hospital’s Frontotemporal Disorders Unit where she supports families through clinic, research and community engagement. Weaving together personal experiences and professional knowledge, Katie illuminates the power of the authentic voice to build hope that the cure of tomorrow is not so far from the care of today. |

What is Occupational Therapy?
Occupational Therapy Practitioners (OTPs) use everyday life activities, also known as occupations, with clients of all ages to support occupational performance and participation. Our services are provided for clients who have or are at risk for developing an illness, injury, disease, disorder, condition, impairment, disability, activity limitation, or participation restriction. Through the provision of skilled services and engagement in everyday activities, occupational therapy (OT) promotes physical health, mental health, and overall well-being by supporting occupational performance and engagement in meaningful activities.
