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

Description: For the "Overwhelmed Executor." This talk addresses the logistical and emotional paralysis of inheriting a lifetime of photos. I provide a clear, step-by-step action plan to gather, sort, digitize, and share a family collection without the overwhelm, ensuring their legacy is safe for generations to come.

Best for: Public Libraries, Professional Organizations, and Community Centers.

Keynote: Curating a Life: Honoring Your Legacy After Loss
