People with Alzheimer’s Disease communicate successfully: Techniques and Tools’ on Friday, May 29 at 6 p.m. at the Lanka Alzheimer’s Foundation auditorium, 110 Ketawalamulla Lane, Colombo 10.

Caregivers often list communication problems as one of the greatest challenges of interacting with persons with Alzheimer’s Disease. While each individual is unique, there are a number of communication strategies that are known to be effective and a number of memory aids that support communication and orientation and help reduce challenging behaviours. This lecture provides an overview of both strategies and memory aids, particularly as they enhance communicative interactions. Emphasis will be placed on practical tips that can be implemented by attendees.

Those interested are requested to register early to avoid disappointment – Tel: 11 2667082/2667084 or email: alzheimers@alzlanka.org
