Learn what is happening in the Alzheimer’s or dementia brain. Once we understand why the changes are occurring, we can learn how best to respond to the disease and associated behaviors.

Explore the theory of validation as a therapeutic communication technique for dementia symptoms. Reduce fear and anxiety, prevent crisis, and improve the well-being of the confused person and their caregiver.
