Webinar Overview
Communication, language, mental, and physical ability are all areas of inclusion we encounter in our day-to-day work. We even make plans of care around them and create guides, translations, cognitive assessments, and physical rehabilitation, to name a few. Despite this, the pandemic exacerbated a long-existing problem for older adults…social isolation, the antithesis of inclusion. In response, we evolved approaches through tools like FaceTime and Zoom and embraced technology that was once a nicety but is now a much-needed utility for filling the social prescription.
For persons living with dementia with memory support needs, we must employ the tools needed to consistently hear from and communicate with them as they navigate cognitive changes. Are we demonstrating fluency in the varied facets of communication with a person living with dementia? Can their voices, desires, and needs be heard and included? Is equity in aging attainable for persons living with dementia? The answer is yes.
Objectives:
• Define and understand the diverse communication and mental abilities of persons living with cognitive change within the context of diversity, equity, and inclusion.
• Learn about dementia so you have skills that help you communicate effectively with persons living with cognitive change
• Understand the role providers can play in committing to a journey of inclusion that ensures equity in aging for persons living with cognitive change
