Mental Needs: Support Thinking, Processing, and Clarity
About this Event
Dementia affects how the brain processes information, which can lead to confusion, repetition, and changes in understanding.
This session focuses on supporting mental needs by reducing overwhelm and adapting how information is presented.
We will explore:
• Simplifying tasks and communication
• Reducing confusion and overstimulation
• Supporting success in daily activities
When we adjust our approach, we reduce frustration for everyone.
