Course Overview

Healthcare professionals who have limited knowledge of Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias often manage these individuals within the same theoretical framework and strategies with which they approach their cognitively intact clients, which may result in limited success. Vinze et al. (2023) surveyed healthcare professionals and found that these professionals felt they would benefit from increased training and resources to effectively manage older adults with dementia. This intermediate-level course will aid rehabilitation professionals working with the geriatric population.
