Have you ever been in the position to lose your ability to speak? If not, think about how frightening and frustrating this must be trying to tell people what your needs are. Trying to tell people what you would like to eat, watch, clothes you'd like to wear and so much more must be so tiring and if you cannot explain, then would you eventually just give up?
The Dementia Interpreters Workshop is all about understanding the 'Language of Dementia' and recognising that people with dementia will change to a new, universal language as their way to communicate. Often this new language is mistaken for behavioural issues or a behaviour that challenges, but actually should be recognised as a positive form of communication. The Dementia Interpreters workshop will give you so many ways to translate these new forms of communication by allowing you to walk in their shoes and understand the challenge from their viewpoint.
