Positive Approach to Care Workshop
April 13, 2024 @ 9:00 am - 11:30 am
Normal Aging vs. Not Normal Aging
This workshop helps learners understand and recognize the differences in normal and not normal aging. The learner will develop better observational skills to recognize and intervene effectively when behavioral challenges occur. Learners will also develop new skills related to approach, cueing, and the ability to connect with people affected by dementia. The workshop will also address typical changes that happen in the early, middle, and late stages of the condition including the final care concerns.
Workshop Objectives:
Compare and contrast normal aging versus not normal aging related to various cognitive functions.
Describe the five sensory input and processing systems, highlighting the dominant role of vision, and the major differences between protective and discriminating sensation in each.
Discuss the impact of changing sensory awareness and processing as dementia progresses.
