Have you ever been frustrated treating a dementia client?

It’s more common than you think, and most of the time it isn’t the client’s fault or yours.

You might find the treatments frustrating because you’re limited with the generalized products and techniques, but what if you could eliminate those limitations?

Imagine never feel frustrated in a session again, and seeing your clients improve physically and cognitively with treatments they enjoy because you created unique care plans.

Your clients would be happier, and your clinical skills would be unlike many in your field – because your treatments worked with your client’s strengths, for your client’s individual problems, and without barriers like vague treatments or tools.

Providing Individualized Dementia Treatment: Putting Evidence into Action is an innovative digital course that will show you how to use specific differences, like client strengths, to craft individualized treatment plans that improve cognitive skills, function and performance-based activities in their daily routine. You'll get neuroplasticity-backed strategies that are budget-friendly, and allow you to craft plans of care based on your client's strengths.

Never feel like you’re limited or just another therapist treating dementia when you use the tools in this course.

If you're ready to know how to create the most impactful sessions, then join us right now. 

What if your dementia treatments played to your client's strengths?

Treating dementia can be difficult if you don't have treatments that fit your client's individual needs. This digital course will not only give you strategies to create the best program for your client, you'll also be able to help your client communicate their wants or needs clearly.

Providing Individualized Dementia Treatment: Putting Evidence into Action is a digital course that will show you step-by-step how to create a treatment approach distinct to your client and eliminate that frustration by focusing on key concepts.

Your treatments will be highly individualized, helping your client feel less frustrated and improve.
