Description:

Strumpf; Cotter. Living with Dementia provides a two fold experience: guided observation of an individual with dementia and a seminar series on dementia - neuropathology, assessment, care and treatment. Students will interact with a person with AD and his/her caregiver. The goal is to understand the demented individual's functional abilities and impact of environment on performance and behavior. A further goal is to develop an appreciation of the primary caregiver's role and the strengths and limitations of community support systems. Each team of two to three will be assigned a family unit for study. In so far as possible, teams will be interdisciplinary.
