WHY WE FORGET AND STEPS TO MANAGING MEMORY, ALZHEIMER’S DISEASE AND DEMENTIA – TUESDAY, MAY 13, 2025, 6:30 PM

Join the Friends of the Robbins Library as we welcome Dr. Andrew Budson to share his guide for families, Six Steps to Managing Alzheimer’s Disease and Dementia, including managing issues with memory, language, vision, behavior, driving, incontinence, sleep, and more. Then, based on the 2nd edition of his award-winning book, Seven Steps to Managing Your Aging Memory, he will explain how individuals can distinguish changes in memory due to Alzheimer’s versus normal aging, what medications, diets, and exercise regimes can help, and the best habits, strategies, and memory aids to use, in seven simple steps. Lastly, he will share some tricks and techniques that everyone, young and old, can use to improve their memory, based on his book, Why We Forget and How to Remember Better.

Educated at Haverford College and Harvard Medical School, Dr. Budson is Chief of Cognitive Behavioral Neurology at the VA Boston Healthcare System, Associate Director of the Boston University Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center, Professor of Neurology at Boston University, and Lecturer in Neurology at Harvard Medical School.
