On November 2, 2007, The Edcon Group hosted a Dementia Care Conference in Kansas City, MO, titled "Creating Beauty in Dementia Care." Speakers included John Killick (England) and Kate Allan (Scotland) as well as Barry Bernstein (Overland Park, KS). Barry was kind enough to lead a drum circle at our event and explain (through demonstration) the physiological effects of rhythm. As we have worked with individuals who have dementia, we've experienced incredible success and connection using his techniques. Many thanks to Barry for being an inspiration and contributor to the health and well-being of others.  (Again, to view, click on the PLAY button below)
