This series will provide an overview of Alzheimers and other neurodegenerative diseases and their impact on communication, particularly within the Hispanic/Latine community. The series will guide care partners in adjusting their communication strategies and understanding responsive behaviors in individuals with dementia. Well reframe problem behaviors as responses to unmet needs, exploring how behaviors like agitation, aggression, and wandering reflect these needs. This series aims to simplify communication and support decision-making to help maintain independence for as long as possible.
