Do you ever wonder about the motivations behind ‘problem’ or ‘maladaptive’ behaviors in individuals in your care?
By approaching all behavior as communication, we can listen to what an individual may be trying to tell us, discover the reasons behind their behavior, and take steps to meet their needs or concerns.
As dementia progresses, a person's communication ability will become increasingly impaired. Administrators and caregivers need to recognize that individuals in their care have varying communication abilities and find ways to help them compensate.
