A diagnosis of Alzheimer’s Disease, or other forms of dementia, is devastating for all concerned. It is important to understand what is happening to the brain in order to figure out what you can do to support the person who has been diagnosed with dementia. This session will provide insight into what we know about memory and what we can do to support cognitive loss in dementia. The emphasis will be on understanding how we can enhance function in dementia while continuing to provide opportunities for a life filled with meaning and purpose.
