This dementia care workshop kicks off the series What the Hell are You Talking About? where we teach you new ways and ideas to help you communicate and connect better with people who have Alzheimer’s disease and other kinds of dementia.
This workshop, It’s on the Tip of My Tongue, talks specifically about finding the right words when you can’t and what to do and not do when it happens.
Using real-life examples, Susan Macaulay of MyAlzheimersStory.com teaches us:
- 10 Alzheimer’s / dementia “word search” tips
