Each September 21, people unite to challenge the stigma that persists around Alzheimer’s disease. Pitt Occupational Therapy 's Project Unmute provides support for people living with Alzheimer’s and dementia following a diagnosis. This innovative initiative, led by Principal Investigator and PhD student Jennie Dorris, is an interactive music program delivered on Zoom by teenage musicians for older adults with Alzheimer’s disease. The program encourages the two generations to have positive engagement through the active exploration of music. Earlier this year, the project received a $15,000 Research Grant in the Arts award from the National Endowment for the Arts . Pitt OT Department Chair Juleen Rodakowski and Associate Professor Ketki Raina are also investigators on the research team. #WorldAlzheimersDay
