Learning Outcomes
At the completion of this program, 100% of learners will have had the opportunity to identify strategies in having rewarding conversations with people suffering from short-term memory loss. They will be able to describe what information needs to be captured and relayed to various caregivers in order to facilitate subsequent successful interactions. The speaker will explain two impactful comments that must be avoided and the reasons why.
