(producer) A training program for caregivers responsible for day-to-day care or supervision of dementia patients. It is designed to: provide background information about Alzheimer's disease and related disorders, including the current state of research, clinical evaluation, and treatment; teach caregivers skills to assess and modify behavior problems which interfere with proper care; and identify and address the special needs of caregivers. Modeled after behavioral techniques used successfully with other groups, materials teach caregivers to think about problems as happening in a sequence of ABC (Antecedents/triggers; Behavior; and Consequences/results.) Using the sequence, caregivers design a plan for change and learn how to deal with common troubling behaviors in dementia.
