For therapists that provide screenings and possible diagnoses, it can be difficult to determine the major characteristics of each form of dementia separately. Given that a correct diagnosis is extremely important to the quality of life and care for people living with dementia, this course will provide deeper information about Frontal Temporal Dementia and other less common forms by discussing the expected changes and symptoms, as well as providing demonstrations to show varying characteristics. Finally, the session will provide alternative screening techniques, knowledge around the different dementias, and support for those providing treatment as well as care to be better advocates and partners for people living with each type.
This is part two of a three part series covering dementias. Be sure to watch:
Part One: Differentiating Dementias: Alzheimer's, Vascular, and Lewy Body
Part Three: Key Indicators of Primary Dementias and How They Fit Together
