Understanding Alzheimer’s Disease – Dementia Education for Caregivers of Adults with Down Syndrome and IDD
Dementia Education
Adults with Down syndrome are at a higher risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease earlier in life, so early education and support is important.
Caring for an adult with Down syndrome or IDD who may be experiencing memory or behavior changes can be challenging. Our free four-part workshops are designed to provide clear, practical information and real-life challenges to support caregivers.
