Communication Difficulties Produced by Terra Nova Films for The American Journal of Nursing

Communicating with an individual with dementia can become increasingly difficult as their cognitive abilities decline. This 41-minute DVD, produced for the American Journal of Nursing, discusses ways to assess the expressive and receptive skills of older adults with dementia or other medical conditions enabling caregivers to continue to communicate with them long after their language abilities and understanding diminish. Offering a number of practical suggestions, including a 9-question assessment and intervention tool, Communication Difficulties gives you what you need to promote better overall communication with an individual with dementia.
