DAA is a non-profit national advocacy & education organization of people living with dementia, care partners, friends and dementia specialists committed to creating a better country in which to live with dementia. We educate about stigma & misperceptions; support well-being and a focus on the whole person; advocate for inclusion & accommodating dementia as a disability needing compensatory strategies for changing abilities; promote person- and relational-centered care practices; identify beneficial technologies; and connect & engage people as much more can be accomplished working together.
