This presentation (1:19:50 minutes) given by Kathy Service discusses behavioral distress for people with dementia and ways to address behavior using familiar or modified communication interventions. By the end of this presentation, learners should be able to: (1) describe a process to assess a distressing behavior; (2) list at least two dementia capable interventions of response to distressing behavior; and (3) differentiate how addressing behavioral distress in a person with ID and dementia may differ from a person without dementia. A case study and discussion are included in the presentation. Registration is required by the creators in order to access the material but there is no charge. (Presentation starts at 5:10 minutes.)
