Dementia Australia provides training on intellectual disability and dementia. It aims to assist participants to identify dementia related changes in people with intellectual disability.
For a person with intellectual disability it may be harder to recognise an emerging dementia condition. This workshop delivered onsite helps participants to identify dementia related changes in people who have an existing intellectual disability and build on processes to support your clients through the changing nature of dementia.
Program benefits
- Staff learn about the assessment and diagnosis of dementia for people with intellectual disability.
- Your workforce can adapt support to maintain the familiar routines for people living with intellectual disability and dementia.
- People living with intellectual disability and dementia feel supported as their needs change.
