The Doing Dementia Together™ introductory class uses the framework of the UK‑originated SPECAL® Method to support positive communication with someone living with dementia. Dementia Together uses these strategies in everything we do, which is why all volunteers are asked to complete this class as part of the onboarding process.
What you will learn:
- A simple and easy‑to‑understand analogy for how our memory system works
- Why counter‑intuitive communication strategies actually make sense
- The Golden Rules for creating and maintaining well‑being for people living with dementia
