The typical approaches of caregiving may not, we are beginning to discover, be the best way to engage the emotional sensitivities and many remaining abilities of persons who are living with dementia. With a basic shift in our perception, we can find ways to help persons living with dementia fulfill the deep human need for connection, self-expression, and well-being. Video clips will demonstrate how a truly person-centered approach with, for example, the use of music, art, and storytelling can open up new avenues of expression that allow persons with dementia to be vibrantly connected with others, their environment and themselves. 1:00-2:00 Family Dynamics in Ethnic Populations (Diamond/Sapphire) 2:15-3:15 Presented by: The Coalition of Limited English Speaking Elderly (Marta Pereyra and members of CLESE).
