Description
Working with patients with dementia can be like talking on the phone with a bad connection – maybe some words get through, but maybe they don’t. For patients, it’s a call that never ends, and over time, behaviors such as wandering, aggression, and social withdrawal can take root with the decline of communication abilities. One can only go so far.-Size-Fits-All treatment plans fail. Individualized care can help patients communicate and function in everyday situations.
This seminar will explore the latest evidence.-Treatments that are evidence-based. Learn how to restore impaired function and compensate for deficiencies that are not retraining. Learn cognition-Focused interventions have been shown in the improvement of cognitive skills, functional ability, and performance-Activities of daily living that are based on long-term outcomes. See how to select assistive technologies and external memory aids based on your patients’ needs, and discover which options on the market work best.
Finally, the course will teach you how think “outside the box” You can create custom therapies from what you have, and offer effective take-home care-Home solutions for clinicians on a budget or frustrated with limitations in generalizing products and methods.
