When Words Fade: Understanding Behaviour and Communication in Alzheimer’s
Course ID: 325601

Alzheimer’s disease affects communication and behavior, making daily interactions more difficult. Individuals may struggle to express themselves or understand others, leading to confusion or frustration. Caregivers can support effective communication by using simple language, staying calm, and paying attention to nonverbal cues. Responsive behaviours—such as agitation or wandering—are often forms of communication that signal unmet needs like discomfort or fear.  By understanding the meaning behind these behaviours and adjusting their approach, caregivers can respond more effectively and improve overall quality of life.
Presenter: Jamie Cruz (SSWG) Public Education & Community Programs Manager, Alzheimer Society of York Region.
