Type
Webinar
Description
Join us for a unique webinar that will focus on assistive technology strategies, helpful tips and solutions to support those living with and affected by dementia. Dementia is an overall term for diseases and conditions characterized by decline in memory or other thinking skills that can ultimately affect a person's ability to perform everyday tasks. An estimated 5.2 million Americans of all ages have Alzheimer's disease in 2014. This includes an estimated 5 million people age 65 and older as well as 200,000 individuals under age 65 who experienced onset at an younger age. This session will further define dementia, it's characteristics, disease process and consequences. Presenters will thoughtfully share information on difficulties encountered by individuals living with dementia and provide information on how assistive technology and other adaptive devices can provide much-needed relief and hope, not only to those directly affected, but their family members as well. Let us help you "light the path"!
