Session Description:
As the number of individuals living with dementia from Alzheimer’s disease continues to increase, there is a need for lifestyle approaches that are focused on prevention and wellness in older adults at-risk for dementia. This presentation will provide an overview of counseling+ activities that can be delivered by speech-language pathologists to support older adults at-risk for dementia. Counseling+ activities go beyond traditional assessment and treatment approaches and focus on counseling, collaboration, prevention, and wellness. This presentation will provide hands-on free resources that can be used by clinicians to support their delivery of counseling+ activities alongside assessment and treatment approaches. This presentation will also discuss a novel assessment tool, the Functional External Memory Aid Tool that can be used to support person-centered treatment planning.
