This training covers information about organizations advocating for ID with dementia, maintaining function and well-being in later years, health challenges and disparities for adults with ID over the lifespan and how dementia may appear different. It covers information about different types of dementia and medication, and cultural considerations. It explains behavior of ID with dementia and provides strategies on what you can do to help the individual.
