Managing & Understanding Behavior Problems in Alzheimer's Disease and Related Disorders
This ten module videotape series and manual is a training program geared toward institutional staff, such as nurses and aides, to families, and to in-home, paid and non-paid caregivers responsible for day-to-day care or supervision of patients. This program is designed to provide background information about Alzheimer's disease and related disorders, including the current state of research, clinical evaluation and treatment, teach caregivers skills to assess and modify behavior problems which interfere with proper care and identify and address the special needs of caregivers. Developed by Dr. Linda Teri and colleagues from the University of Washington Medical Center, production of this series was supported in part by a grant from the National Institute on Aging to the Alzheimer's Disease Research Center. Information about training seminars on the use of these videotapes and their techniques as well as how to obtain a copy can be obtained by email at jcb@u.washington.edu.
