Communication & Difficult Behaviors with Dementia

Registration is required.

Communication may change as dementia progresses, including repeating the same question or having trouble finding the right word. We talk about how to communicate more effectively with someone living with dementia and how to find what someone is communicating through their difficult behaviors.
