    • April 24, 2026
    • 12:00 PM

    Date: Friday April 24, 2026 @ 12 noon est

    Learn communication strategies for people with diverse abilities, led by a healthcare worker with thirteen years of experience working directly with complex care residents. By gaining sensitivity to the challenges experienced by people living with cognitive and physical differences, the HT/TH professional can deliver more effective programs, increase engagement, and uphold the dignity of individuals.  We will discuss a wide range of topics including: hearing and vision impairment, nonverbal communication, developmental disabilities, dementia, stroke, brain injury, mental health, and special populations.  Additionally, we will discuss keeping ourselves safe with violence prevention, de-escalation, and personal grounding techniques.
