Person-Centered Dementia Care: Understanding Behaviors and Effective Communication
Thursday, December 12, 2024
12:00-1:30 PM
Zoom
As people living with dementia progress in their journey, their ability to communicate also changes. Professionals must discover new ways to communicate effectively for all stages of the disease. Behavior is a powerful form of communication and is one of the primary ways for people with dementia to communicate their needs and feelings as the ability to use verbal communication diminishes. Join us to learn how dementia affects communication, how person-centered approaches can improve communication, how to decode behavioral messages, identify common behavior triggers, and learn strategies to help intervene with some of the most common behavioral challenges of Alzheimer’s disease.
