As dementia progresses\, communication abilities often change\, requiring care partners and professionals to adjust their approach. Participants will gain a deeper understanding of the many ways individuals living with dementia express their needs\, even when words may no longer be available. \n\n\n\nThe course will reframe behaviors that are sometimes labeled as “problematic” by recognizing them as expressions of unmet needs. Strategies will be introduced to proactively identify and respond to these needs\, with a focus on the universal principles of trauma-informed care. Facilitators will also provide practical tools to help de-escalate and diffuse challenging situations when they arise. \n\n\n\nDesigned to be fully interactive\, this in-person workshop encourages engagement through instructor-led discussions\, case vignette analysis\, and open Q&A. Participants will leave with practical\, person-centered strategies to enhance communication and improve quality of care for those living with dementia. \n\n\n\nFrom this course attendees will be able to: \n\n\n\n\nDescribe how dementia and related illnesses affect a person’s ability to communicate.\n\n\n\nRecognize the various ways individuals living with dementia express their needs\, including nonverbal communication.\n\n\n\nReframe “problematic” behaviors as expressions of unmet needs.\n\n\n\nApply trauma-informed care principles to support effective communication and address distress.\n\n\n\nDevelop person-centered approaches to enhance communication and overall quality of care for individuals living with dementia.\n\n\n\n\nAgenda \n\n\n\n8:30am – Breakfast \n\n\n\n9:00am – Brief presentations from our sponsors \n\n\n\n9:20am – 11:30am – 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\nSponsors:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n\n\n\n\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: Understanding Behaviors as Forms of Communication\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.

DESCRIPTION:This webinar will explain how staging a person’s cognitive condition can provide a clearer understanding of what is happening now\, what may come next\, and which supports are most helpful at each point along the journey. We will review how clinicians determine stage by considering changes in cognition\, daily function\, behavior\, and safety\, while also connecting clinical findings to the underlying biological disease process. The presentation will explore what individuals and families may experience from the earliest signs through mild\, moderate\, and severe dementia\, emphasizing that progression is shaped by coexisting brain conditions\, general health\, environment\, and the unique circumstances of each person. Participants will learn how staging can guide anticipatory care\, reduce stigma\, address behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia\, identify when additional support is needed\, and promote more productive conversations with primary care clinicians. \n\n\n\n\nSpeaker: Nathaniel A.
