Description
Effective communication is crucial for everyone, and this insightful guide teaches healthcare staff the skills needed to interact with people with dementia and their families. When individuals with dementia exhibit challenging behaviour, it's often an indication that their needs are not being met. The authors' CAIT (Communication and Interaction Training) framework provides a structured approach to developing effective communication skills. This book combines the CAIT framework with contributions from experts on the Positive Care Approach, covering topics such as touch and communication in late-stage dementia care. By gaining new skills and articulating existing ones, caregivers can overcome the challenges of caring for people with dementia. Accessible and practical, this guide will help you develop your skills and provide thoroughly effective care that reduces agitation levels in individuals with dementia.
