Description:

Our first instincts are not always the best treatment strategies.
Working with dementia patients can be more counterintuitive than you think. But, with the right knowledge and techniques, you can transform challenging moments into patient (and personal) victories.
And this program by licensed clinical neuropsychologist, Dr. Sherrie All, founder of the Chicago Center for Cognitive Wellness, can help you gain those skills.
