Presentation

This presentation (1:34:32 minutes) given by Susan Wehry, University of New England, makes the case for a client-centered approach to shared and supported decision-making that optimizes the client's (and family's) abilities and improves quality of life outcomes for persons living with disabilities, including dementia. By the end of the presentation, learners should be able to: (1) know thyself; (2) distinguish capacity and competency; and (3) use knowledge and tools in service of adult people living with dementia.
