In this Federally approved 6 hour dementia course, you will learn how to sharpen your skills as you consider co-morbid age related sensory deficits, communication barriers and physical limitations along with memory and judgment impairments, which compound the ability for many of our seniors to achieve success in leisure programming without the proper support.

It is up to us, the Activity Professionals, to embody the importance of what we deliver to our residents, friends and patients. By gaining new insights, new perspectives and communication strategies along with an overall understanding of the limitations dementia creates for an individual, we can create and support moments of success and enhanced quality of life through relationship centered encouragement, strategic planning and empathically coordinated life enrichment programming.
