A-B-C- “All Behavior is Communication”
We all express our needs through words or actions. When dementia is in the picture, it can be harder to find the right, or any, words to communicate unmet needs. As care partners, we need to get curious about what people living with brain change are trying to express.
What unmet need can we help to meet? In this workshop we discuss the tools we need to better respond to expressions.

Progression of Dementia – What Skills Remain
Thursday, Sept 19th – 11AM-1PM
