This can happen at any stage of the disease. Participants will also explore common reasons as to why someone with Alzheimer’s disease may attempt to leave their environment and what they may be trying to achieve. The ultimate goal of the course is to reframe the term “wandering” as a behavior that needs to be controlled to “walking” an activity that creates a sense of purpose and has been shown to enhance overall health and wellbeing. Finally\, participants also learn how to create a safety plan to address the risks associated with wandering. \n\n\n\nFrom this workshop you will learn to: \n\n\n\n\nDemonstrate an understanding of Alzheimer’s disease and how a person can get lost or wander at any stage of the disease.\n\n\n\nExplain the perspective of a person with Alzheimer’s who “wanders.”\n\n\n\nDescribe an alternate perspective of wandering as the act of walking.\n\n\n\nIdentify strategies to reduce the risks associated with wandering while supporting physical activity.\n\n\n\n\n2 CE credits available for social workers licensed in an ASWB accredited state\, as well as New York State licensed social workers. (Please note: New Jersey is not currently covered under our ASWB accreditation\, please check back soon). \n\n\n\nThe Alzheimer’s Foundation of America #1898\, is approved as an ACE provider to offer social work continuing education by the Association of Social Work Boards (ASWB) Approved Continuing Education (ACE) program.
