Caregiving 101: Dementia, Communicating & Difficult Behaviors 

In Caregiving, we say that behaviors are nothing more than a means to communicate needs when words are no longer effective. It is up to the caregiver to uncover the meaning behind the behaviors, and then put a plan into effect to manage those needs. This course will provide strategies to help caregivers with managing client behaviors.
