Engaging Presentations on Memory,
Storytelling, and Photo Legacy
Book Dawn Puzzio, M.A., CCC-SLP, to deliver compassionate, expert-led workshops that help families connect, preserve their history, and conquer their photo chaos.
As both a certified Speech-Language Pathologist and a professional photo curator, I don't just see boxes of photos; I see tools for connection. My presentations move beyond simple organization and teach families—especially those navigating dementia, cognitive challenges, or loss—how to use their photos as a powerful bridge for communication, recall, and healing.
My Signature Presentations
Featured Talk: From Shoebox to Connection: Using Family Photos to Bridge Communication Gaps in Dementia Care
Description: Based on my "How-To Guide," this workshop provides caregivers with the practical steps and empathetic strategies needed to curate a small, powerful collection of photos. Attendees will learn how to select high-impact images, use photos to spark conversation, and create simple, meaningful photo products that foster connection with their loved ones.
Best for: Caregiver Support Groups, Assisted Living & Memory Care Facilities, and Public Library Community Programs.
Workshop: The 5-Step Plan to Conquer Your Family's Photo Chaos
