Alzheimer's disease and other dementias fundamentally change how the brain processes information, emotion, and safety.
It makes care unintuitive — NOT something you can learn by trial and error.
And with our understanding of the disease constantly changing… what you did learn just a few years ago could already be out of date.
That's why we created this fully on-demand certification course with nationally recognized dementia expert and licensed clinical neuropsychologist Dr. Sherrie All.
Whether you're a behavioral health, healthcare, or rehabilitation professional, this program builds true dementia competence.
In simple to follow step-by-step instruction, Dr. All will focus on what actually matters in your work…
…translating complex neurological changes into practical, human-centered care strategies for agitation and aggression, resistance to care, wandering, sundowning, paranoia, and communication problems.
Dr. All will even bring you up to speed on the latest medications, preventative treatments, and advances in early detection you need to know.
You'll leave this certification training ready to:
- Respond to challenging situations with calm, evidence-based approaches
- Reduce fear, frustration, and resistance for individuals and care teams
- Improve safety, trust, and quality of life across care settings
