Validation is an effective method for communicating with elderly people who are diagnosed as having dementia or Alzheimer's disease. Validation provides a method for accepting elders where they are. Empathy, or walking in the shoes of the other, builds trust. Trust brings safety. Safety brings strength.
Strength renews feeling of worth.
Over 10,000 agencies throughout the world use Validation. More than 88,000 people have participated in Validation workshops. The staff at the Institute for Quality Improvement in Long Term Health Care will be glad to handle your orders for the boxed Validation Training Program or the individual components. The Alzheimer's Association - Greater Austin Chapter presents this exceptional training program for health care staff. The program contains vital information for those who work with the elderly and individ- uals with dementia.
