Effective Communication Strategies

Communication is more than just talking and listening-it's also about sending and receiving messages through attitude, tone of voice, facial expressions and body language. As people with Alzheimer's disease and other dementia's progress in their journey and the ability to use words is lost, families need new ways to connect. This program is perfect for anyone who wants to effectively work with a person living with any dementia. Join Daryl Carlson with the Alzheimer's Association to explore how communication takes place when someone has Alzheimer's, learn to decode the verbal and behavioral messages delivered by someone with dementia, and identify strategies to help you connect and communicate at each stage of the disease.
