X-WR-CALDESC:Many organizations are seeing the aging of their clientele and
  their numbers increase\, and concerns are growing about how to deal with 
 age-associated effects evidenced with aging. One such age-associated condi
 tion\, Alzheimer's disease (and related dementias)\, affects a significant
  number of adults with Down syndrome (about 65% of adults age more than 60
 ) and a proportional number of adults with other causes of intellectual di
 sability (about 6% of adults age more than 60). Many at-risk adults live o
 n their own or with friends\, and many affected adults live in small commu
 nity group homes or with their families. How to provide sound and responsi
 ve community care is becoming a challenge for agencies faced with an incre
 asing number of such affected adults. This webinar covers key elements of 
 dementia and how it affects adults with intellectual disabilities\, provid
 es a brief overview of screening and assessment strategies and methods\, a
 nd examines ways that organizations can employ to adapt their current serv
 ices to make them dementia capable. Specifically covered are the elements 
 and types of dementia\, as well its onset\, duration and effect\, and tech
 niques for adapting environments\, aiding with staff interactions and comm
 unication\, as well as challenges to active and supportive programming. Mo
 dels for supports depending on the stage of dementia are also discussed\, 
 as are training foci areas and community care models that provide for 'dem
 entia capable' supports and services. Special attention is given to the us
 e of group homes as a viable community care model. \n\nMatthew P. Janicki\
