Dementia Series: Normal / Not-Normal Aging

January 08, 2025

Join us for a Free workshop series for those caring for persons living with dementia.

This workshop helps learners understand and recognize the differences in “normal” and “not normal” aging. The learner will develop better observational skills to recognize and intervene effectively if behavioral challenges occur. Learners will develop new skills related to approach, cueing, and ability to connect with people affected by dementia. 

The workshop emphasizes the value of matching helping behaviors to the person’s needs and retained abilities to promote your loved one's sense of control and self-direction.

Learning Objectives:

  • Understand and recognize the differences in “normal” and “not normal” aging
  • Understand the values of matching helping behaviors to the person’s needs and retained abilities
  • Address typical issues that occur throughout the progression of dementia
