Description
Individuals living with dementia often experience changes in behavior that can be confusing to friends and family. For caregivers, learning to decode messages through attitude, tone of voice, facial expressions and body language can help both parties connect and communicate in meaningful ways. This course explores how communication takes place when someone has Alzheimer’s disease. This interactive presentation explains the communication changes that occur throughout the course of the disease, offers tips on decoding verbal and behavioral messages delivered by someone with dementia, and considers responses that are helpful. Note: Class is free and exempt from the $15 processing fee.
