Dementia

In this course the learner will gain a better understanding of how to support someone with dementia. The most important part of that is learning how to engage a person who is experiencing the different stages of memory loss. Plus, the Direct Support Professional then learns how to react and redirect someone when poor judgment is shown from someone experiencing later stages of memory loss. Finally, the DSP will understand why it is important that they use their skill to not only “live in their world” but help someone with dementia find quality and meaning as they go through this disease.
