Susan Ostrowski is a speech pathologist and co-president of Reading2Connect. She entered senior care in her late 40s and was appalled at what she saw. Residents were simultaneously being under stimulated and over stimulated. The excessive noise and movement around them was often meaningless and of no value to them. At that moment she was determined to contribute something to help change the culture of aging.
