This experience of “getting lost” can occur at any stage of the disease. This course will examine common reasons why individuals with Alzheimer’s disease may attempt to leave their environment—looking not just at the behavior itself\, but at what the person may be trying to achieve. A key focus will be on the importance of learning about a person’s life history\, daily routines\, and sources of meaning\, as these often provide valuable insight into what drives their actions. Participants will be encouraged to reframe the idea of “wandering” from a behavior to be managed or stopped\, to “walking”—an activity that can foster purpose\, reduce stress\, and promote overall health and well-being. In addition\, facilitators will guide participants through strategies to create individualized safety plans that address the risks of walking\, getting lost\, or becoming disoriented\, while still honoring autonomy and quality of life. Designed to be fully interactive\, this in-person workshop encourages engagement through instructor-led discussions\, case vignette analysis\, and open Q&A. \n\n\n\nFrom this course attendees will be able to: \n\n\n\n\nDescribe how cognitive and behavioral symptoms of dementia contribute to getting lost or disorientation.\n\n\n\nRecognize common reasons why individuals with dementia may attempt to leave their environment and what they may be trying to achieve.\n\n\n\nExplain the value of incorporating a person’s life history and routines into care planning and communication.\n\n\n\nReframe “wandering” as purposeful walking that can enhance well-being.\n\n\n\nDevelop a personalized safety plan to address the risks of getting lost while supporting autonomy and dignity.\n\n\n\n\nAgenda \n\n\n\n5:00pm – 5:30pm – Dinner and brief presentation from our sponsor \n\n\n\n5:30pm – 7:40pm – Workshop (10 minute break included) \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFull Course Description\n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSponsor: URL:https://alzfdn.org/event/safe-walking-a-strengths-based-approach-to-wandering-2/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20261008T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20261008T140000 DTSTAMP:20260922T185735Z CREATED:20260922T185513Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260922T185735Z UID:62605-1791464400-1791468000@alzfdn.org SUMMARY:Care Connection Webinar: The Link Between Alzheimer’s Disease & Down Syndrome DESCRIPTION:Description: \n\nPeople with a familial genetic predisposition to Alzheimer’s disease often develop Alzheimer’s at an earlier age than the general population. Individuals living with Down syndrome are also genetically predisposed to young-onset Alzheimer’s disease. This webinar will describe the link between Alzheimer’s disease and Down syndrome\, how positive lifestyle choices lengthen lifespans for individuals living with these conditions\, and what that link can teach us to help reduce everyone’s risk of developing Alzheimer’s. \n\n\n\n\n\nGuest speaker:\n\nElizabeth Head\, MA\, PhD\n\nDean’s Professor and Vice Chair for Research\n\nUniversity of California-Irvine\n\nCenter for Aging Research in Down syndrome (CFAR-DS)\n\nUCI Institute for Memory Impairments and Neurological Disorders (UCI MIND) \n\n\n\n\n\nRegister URL:https://alzfdn.org/event/care-connection-webinar-the-link-between-alzheimers-disease-down-syndrome/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20261021T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20261021T130000 DTSTAMP:20261013T200932Z CREATED:20260225T203519Z LAST-MODIFIED:20261013T200932Z UID:61179-1792576800-1792587600@alzfdn.org SUMMARY:2026 Educating Across America Tour: Little Rock\, AR DESCRIPTION:2026 Educating Across America Tour: Little Rock\, AR Registration Form\n \n \n Name(Required)\n \n \n First\n \n \n \n \n Last\n \n \n \n Email(Required)\n \n Phone(Required)Street AddressCity\, State\, ZIP(Required) \n \n \n \n City\n \n AlabamaAlaskaAmerican SamoaArizonaArkansasCaliforniaColoradoConnecticutDelawareDistrict of ColumbiaFloridaGeorgiaGuamHawaiiIdahoIllinoisIndianaIowaKansasKentuckyLouisianaMaineMarylandMassachusettsMichiganMinnesotaMississippiMissouriMontanaNebraskaNevadaNew HampshireNew JerseyNew MexicoNew YorkNorth CarolinaNorth DakotaNorthern Mariana IslandsOhioOklahomaOregonPennsylvaniaPuerto RicoRhode IslandSouth CarolinaSouth DakotaTennesseeTexasUtahU.S. Virgin IslandsVermontVirginiaWashingtonWest VirginiaWisconsinWyomingArmed Forces AmericasArmed Forces EuropeArmed Forces Pacific\n State\n \n \n ZIP Code\n \n \n Please register as:(Required)\n \n Family Caregiver\n \n \n AFA Member Organization\n \n \n Professional - Specify below (Attorney\, Caregiver\, Clinician\, Social Worker\, etc.)\n \n \n General Public\n \n \n Individual with Dementia\n Register as Professional\n \n Doctor/Nurse\n \n \n Professional caregiver\n \n \n Case manager/social worker\n \n \n Attorney\n \n \n Memory care/nursing home staff\n \n \n Other\, please specify\n Register as other:Please describe your profession:How did you hear about our conference?(Required)\n \n AFA Website/Email\n \n \n AFA Newsletter\n \n \n Employer/Colleague\n \n \n Friend/Family Member\n \n \n Social Media (Facebook\, LinkedIn\, Twitter\, etc.)\n \n \n Media outlets (TV\, newspaper\, radio\, etc.)\n \n \n Post Card\n Organization (if applicable)Would your organization/agency like to become an AFA member?(Required)YesNoAlready a memberWould you like to get a free memory screening?(Required)YesNoOnsite screenings are offered on a first come\, first served basis until times slots are filled.Age(Required)18-2425-3435-4445-5455-6465+Prefer not to answerGender(Required)Prefer not to answerManWomanOtherEthnicity(Required)American Indian/Alaska NativeAsianBlack/African AmericanHispanic/LatinoNative Hawaiian/Pacific IslanderWhitePrefer not to answerAre you interested in coming early or staying late to volunteer and help us provide a better experience for attendees?(Required)\n \n Sure\, I'm interested in volunteering at 8:00 AM\n \n \n Sure\, I'm interested in volunteering after the event until 1:30 PM\n \n \n Not at this time\n \n Submit \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Δ URL:https://alzfdn.org/event/2026-educating-across-america-tour-little-rock-ar/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20261021T140000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20261021T161000 DTSTAMP:20260324T171403Z CREATED:20260319T193556Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260324T171403Z UID:61516-1792591200-1792599000@alzfdn.org SUMMARY:Understanding Dementia in IDD: Presentation\, Progression\, and Differential Diagnosis DESCRIPTION:General Course\n2 CE credits\nLIVE\, Interactive Webinar\n \n\n\n\nCourse Description: Dementia can present differently in individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD)\, particularly in people with Down syndrome who are at significantly increased risk for Alzheimer’s disease and may experience symptoms earlier than the general population. Early signs are not always memory-based and may instead appear as changes in daily functioning\, communication\, mood\, personality\, and behavior. This course will review how Alzheimer’s disease commonly presents and progresses in individuals with Down syndrome and other IDD\, and will also explore key clinical “red flags” that may suggest Lewy Body dementia or frontotemporal degeneration. Participants will learn practical strategies for establishing baseline functioning\, identifying meaningful changes over time\, ruling out treatable medical causes\, and supporting individuals and caregivers using person-centered and trauma-informed approaches. \n\n\n\nFrom this course attendees will be able to: \n\n\n\n\nDescribe why individuals with Down syndrome are at increased risk for Alzheimer’s disease and how dementia may emerge earlier in this population.\n\n\n\nIdentify common early dementia signs in IDD\, including changes in daily living skills\, communication\, mood\, personality\, and behavior.\n\n\n\nDifferentiate Alzheimer’s disease from Lewy Body dementia and frontotemporal degeneration using key clinical features.\n\n\n\nRecognize common medical and mental health conditions that can mimic dementia in IDD and should be ruled out early.\n\n\n\nApply strategies to assess and respond to high-impact responsive behaviors in dementia (e.g.\, toileting-related behaviors\, aggression\, disinhibition) using a trauma-informed approach.\n\n\n\n\n\nCourse Description URL:https://alzfdn.org/event/understanding-dementia-in-idd-presentation-progression-and-differential-diagnosis-2/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20261106T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20261106T140000 DTSTAMP:20261007T173619Z CREATED:20261007T173222Z LAST-MODIFIED:20261007T173619Z UID:62755-1793970000-1793973600@alzfdn.org SUMMARY:Care Connection Webinar: The Caregiver’s Armor: Finding Strength\, Support and Growth on the Dementia Care Journey DESCRIPTION:Description: Caring for someone with dementia is one of life’s most meaningful and challenging journeys.

A Professional Guide to Understanding the Differences DESCRIPTION:Clinical Course 2 CE credits LIVE\, Interactive Webinar \n\n\n\nCourse Description: Research has shown that many older adults diagnosed with major depressive disorder also experience cognitive deficits that closely resemble dementia. In 1961\, Professor Leslie Kiloh described this phenomenon as “pseudo-dementia.” Later studies\, however\, found that many of these individuals eventually go on to develop dementia\, raising complex challenges for accurate diagnosis and treatment. Older adults and their care teams must often navigate the overlap between depressive symptoms\, age-related cognitive changes\, and psychiatric dementia symptoms such as hallucinations and paranoia. This overlap makes it especially difficult to determine whether an individual is experiencing depression\, dementia\, or a combination of both—leaving professionals\, families\, and individuals themselves uncertain about the true cause of their symptoms. This clinical course will compare the symptoms of depression and dementia and examine the risks and consequences of inaccurate diagnoses. Participants will have the opportunity to ask questions throughout the presentation\, engage in instructor-led discussions\, and take part in a Q&A session at the end. \n\n\n\nFrom this course attendees will be able to: \n\n\n\n\nExplain how untreated depressive symptoms in older adults can resemble cognitive symptoms similar to dementia.\n\n\n\nRecognize the challenges in differentiating depression from dementia and the overlap with psychiatric dementia symptoms.\n\n\n\nUnderstand the potential consequences of an inaccurate or delayed diagnosis.\n\n\n\nIdentify nonpharmacological strategies to support older adults experiencing cognitive and mood changes.\n\n\n\n\n\nCourse Description\n\n\n\n\n \n \n 2026 AFA Professional Training Webinar: Depression or Dementia?

For some\, their family can be a primary source of relationship security. For others\, their family could be a primary source of stress. Despite a family’s differences\, there is usually a shared understanding that family members rely on each other for emotional\, physical\, and economic support. However\, those experiencing greater stress or toxicity from family members may choose to seek community elsewhere. Despite all this\, when someone in the family receives a diagnosis of Alzheimer’s or other dementia-related illness\, family members are often forced to reunite\, pull their resources together\, and figure out how to work as a team. Even the most high-functioning families often struggle to navigate the changes in dynamics and relationships when addressing the care needed for a relative. This general course aims to teach attendees about the various types of familial relationships and roles to then effectively evaluate dynamics through illustrative assessment tools such as genograms and ecomaps. These thorough assessments will help to meet a family’s overall goal of ensuring everyone works as a team to create meaningful living and quality of life for both the individual living with the illness as well as members of their care team. This in-person workshop is fully interactive. Attendees may ask and answer questions throughout the presentation and participate in instructor-led discussions\, as well as case vignette discussions. \n\n\n\nFrom this course attendees will be able to: \n\n\n\n\nDefine familial roles and relationship dynamics.  \n\n\n\nDescribe how dementia-related illnesses can impact family dynamics.\n\n\n\nUtilize assessment tools when evaluating familial strengths and challenges.\n\n\n\nApply strategies to improve communication and collaboration among family members.\n\n\n\n\n\nCourse Description\n\n\n\n\nAgenda \n\n\n\n5:00pm – 5:30pm – Dinner and brief presentation from our sponsor \n\n\n\n5:30pm – 7:40pm – Workshop (10 minute break included) \n\n\n\n\n5:30 – 5:40 – Welcome and Introductions – Course overview\, learning objectives\, and opening discussion\n\n\n\n5:40 – 6:00 – Understanding Family Dynamics – Family structures\, roles\, relationships\, and sources of support and stress\n\n\n\n6:00 – 6:20 – The Impact of Dementia on Family Relationships – Changing roles\, caregiver responsibilities\, conflict\, and emotional challenges\n\n\n\n6:20 – 6:30 – Interactive Discussion – Exploring family dynamics through shared experiences and examples\n\n\n\n6:30 – 6:40 – 10-minute break\n\n\n\n6:40 – 7:05 – Assessing Family Strengths and Challenges – Introduction to genograms and ecomaps as assessment tools\n\n\n\n7:05 – 7:25 – Promoting Communication and Collaboration – Strategies for navigating conflict\, establishing shared goals\, and supporting family-centered care\n\n\n\n7:25 – 7:35 – Case Vignette & Group Discussion – Applying assessment tools and strategies to complex family dynamics\n\n\n\n7:35 – 7:40 – Key Takeaways\, Questions & Closing\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSponsor:\n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n Event Registration: In-Person Continuing Education Event: The Family Tapestry\n \n "*" indicates required fields \n \n Name*\n \n \n \n First\n \n \n \n \n Last\n \n \n Address* \n \n \n \n Street Address\n \n \n Address Line 2\n \n \n City\n \n StateAlabamaAlaskaAmerican SamoaArizonaArkansasCaliforniaColoradoConnecticutDelawareDistrict of ColumbiaFloridaGeorgiaGuamHawaiiIdahoIllinoisIndianaIowaKansasKentuckyLouisianaMaineMarylandMassachusettsMichiganMinnesotaMississippiMissouriMontanaNebraskaNevadaNew HampshireNew JerseyNew MexicoNew YorkNorth CarolinaNorth DakotaNorthern Mariana IslandsOhioOklahomaOregonPennsylvaniaPuerto RicoRhode IslandSouth CarolinaSouth DakotaTennesseeTexasUtahU.S. Virgin IslandsVermontVirginiaWashingtonWest VirginiaWisconsinWyomingArmed Forces AmericasArmed Forces EuropeArmed Forces Pacific\n State\n \n \n ZIP Code\n \n \n Phone*Email*\n \n 2026 Photo consent formI agree to the photo release form belowI choose not to appear in photosI hereby grant to the Alzheimer’s Foundation of America\, Inc.
