Communicating with Someone Living with Alzheimer’s and Other Dementias

Participants in this program will learn about communication changes related to dementia, understand the value of “entering” into their loved one’s “world,” and develop strategies for communication with their loved one throughout the course of the disease.

Communicating with Someone Living with Alzheimer’s and Other Dementias

PRESENTER: Ed Shaw

Participants will: (1) understand communication changes related to Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias; (2) develop strategies for connecting with the person with a dementia by “entering” the person’s perspective/view of current reality; connecting to the loved one’s personal histories, likes and dislikes; and communicating acceptance and support; and (3) develop strategies for communication throughout the course of the disease, including the use of gestures, behaviors, and use of the senses.
