Alzheimer's Communication Strategies
In the beginning of the Alzheimer's journey, your loved one may repeat stories or struggle to find the right word. Gradually, his or her ability to communicate will become diminished. Yet through patience, kindness, repetition and creativity, you can uncover ways to connect. Learning how to more effectively communicate can greatly enhance your connection as a caregiver and friend to your loved one, providing you with new ways to be a supporting and reassuring presence.

- An overview of what to say and how to say it
- Uncover the most supportive and effective communication strategies
- Realize what type of communication techniques do not work and why
- Find out how to Live Their Truth: step into their reality and out of your own
