Dementia Together is here for you and has tools available to you at no charge to transform dementia care from tragedy and crisis to contentment and hope.
The SPECAL® Method is a simple evidence based disability management model, understandable by anyone regardless of educational level or medical knowledge. The strategies taught are simple yet counterintuitive and they work. 98% of care partners who have implemented even just one of the strategies report feeling empowered and more confident in promoting well-being for loved ones in their care.
Find out why counter-intuitive strategies make sense, learn about the SPECAL® photograph album, and discover 3 Golden Rules for creating well-being for your loved one living with dementia, as well as reducing stress for yourself.
Dementia Together is honored to share practical strategies through SPECAL®, a UK-originated evidence-based, positive dementia care approach. Our intro class, For Families: An Intro to SPECAL®, is held monthly at various locations. Register at no charge on our calendar.
Take a deeper dive into learning how to utilize the various SPECAL® tools to help your loved one live well with dementia.
