Welcome to "Understanding Dementia"!

In this course you will learn about what dementia is, what is the difference between normal and not-normal ageing, and what brain changes can happen in the brain due to dementia, including sensory input and processing systems, and different brain functions.

Having insight into these brain changes will give us powerful tools to respond with compassion and understanding to a person living with dementia. This approach will help us walk in their shoes and meet their needs with dignity and respect.
