Overview

Montessori Inspired Lifestyle, the Validation method and Best Friends Approach are all 'person-directed’ mindsets, strategies, or tools. Dr. Cameron Camp, Vicki de Klerk-Rubin and David Troxel will share the principles of their methods, how to apply them to contemporary dementia care, and share how they can complement one another to enhance the lives of persons living with dementia and their care partners. Following this, an expert panel will discuss the meaning and importance of choosing an 'evidence-based' approach for in-service training. Participants will become equipped to talk to executives about their recommendations for training. Finally, participants will practice six specific skills that they can use immediately in their daily work. Full agenda available here.

Participants who attend the live event can earn up to 3 CEU credits.
