The Alzheimer’s Association, Florida Gulf Coast Chapter, will be holding a virtual course called Effective Communication Strategies on Monday, March 25 from 10 to 11 a.m.

Communication is more than just talking and listening — it’s also about sending and receiving messages through attitude, tone of voice, and body language. As the disease progresses individuals living with Alzheimer’s or other dementias lose the ability to use words, but families can find new ways to connect.

Explore how communication changes when someone is living with Alzheimer’s, learn how to interpret the verbal and behavioral communication, and identify strategies to help you connect and communicate at each stage of the disease.
