Communication Barriers:
Understand and address communication challenges, adapting your approach based on the disease’s progression.
New and Effective Strategies and Techniques:
Discover proven methods to enhance positive communication.
Addressing Problematic Behaviors:
Learn to recognize and interpret problematic behaviors and develop strategies to manage responses to aggression and agitation.
How to Promote Independence:
Utilize existing abilities to slow the loss of autonomy and support the person in regaining some independence.
Managing Anxiety:
Reduce your own anxiety to maintain calm and foster more harmonious relationships.
Enhancing Sensitivity:
Develop new skills to better understand and respond to what the person is trying to express, both verbally and non-verbally.
During this conference, there will be a strong emphasis on the ‘how-to’ when it comes to communicating effectively and identifying responsive behaviors.
You’ll take back practical techniques and strategies that you can use right away.
We answer those important questions:
- What do the responsive behaviors mean?
- How should I respond?
- What can I do differently to improve the lives of all concerned?
When you use the Montessori method adapted for the cognitively impaired, the afflicted person’s self-esteem increases, and their level of autonomy and independence improves.
After the conference, you will:
- Communicate more effectively based on the progression of the disease.
- Better respond to responsive behaviors such as aggression and agitation.
- Encourage use of existing abilities to help slow down loss of autonomy.
- Reduce your own level of anxiety; remain calm.
- Put yourself in the afflicted person’s shoes and maintain a more positive and harmonious relationship.
