IMPROVING COMMUNICATION
WITH PERSONS WITH DEMENTIA

WORKSHOP SERIES

As dementia progresses and communication skills decline, it becomes increasingly difficult to care for the person. Inability to express their thoughts and needs creates internal frustration which can lead to depression, withdrawal and difficult behaviors.

Improving and maintaining communication is essential.

This course presents a variety of communication techniques designed to address the characteristics of each stage of dementia. You’ll learn to create a flow of conversation and what words to use or not use, to read and deliver non-verbal cues, increase empathy, use art as a communicator and discover the power of sensory stimulation as a way to connect with your loved one.
