Lesley - United Kingdom£46
£46Dementia in a non-Dementia World: Communication and Cognition
Dementia is a disease of the brain that is both progressive and debilitating. It is caused by diverse illnesses of the brain and, depending on what part of the brain is effected, the disease in turn determines which emotional, psychological and physical difficulties people living with dementia (PLWD) may present. This course offers insight in the how dementia affects a person's cognition and communication. It offers knowledge of various types of dementia and their related cognitive challenges from a neuroscience perspective: affecting a person's senses, speech, communication and learning processes. It has been widely documented that PLWD have specific communication needs, dependent on their individual diagnoses, and further that carers’ and health professional's awareness and understanding of the brain and its functions often falls outside the remit of their generic training. However, an understanding of the dementia brain is important to supporting the PLWD because the disease resides in the brain and can affect the entire body. Communication is an integral core human need: the everyday activity of talk bonds people together. The ability to express one's emotions coherently and to others, make decisions, and generate and share ideas is essential to feeling part of both the local community and wider society. Whilst communication is free, there are however cost implications for communication work undertaken in dementia and indeed all health and social care settings, by virtue of the allocation of time necessary to facilitate communicating with those living with dementia on a daily, hour to hour basis. Increasing concerns have identified the inefficacy and impracticality of applying a universal, ‘one size fits all’ pathway to the care and support needs of those with dementia. This course provides knowledge, skills and strategies to communicate effectively with PLWD. Language, pragmatics and semantic difficulties are unobserved until later in the dementia disease, as opposed to early onset signs and symptoms presented in a range of different types of dementia: for example, confusion and memory difficulties. Examples can be seen in the case of Alzheimer’s disease, where the instance of PLWD trying to find the right words is common, frequently impacting on their ability to find the right words to enable them to enunciate and communicate simple everyday needs. These words are generally high frequency words such as ‘comb’, ‘brush’ and' ‘bread’, which can be replaced by words such as ‘thingy’ and ‘stuff’; once again this is often associated with the normal ageing process but it is the ever-deceasing ability to communicate as the dementia disease progresses. This course will helps students understand language, pragmatic and semantic difficulties presented in PLWD.

Shant - Guadalajara, Mexico£16
£16How to get away from most street drugs and bottled prescriptions for health and family
Trusted teacher: Too many good stories, famous or ordinary lives, broken, violated, or intensely weighed down. Year after year, victim upon victim. All what that these things do street drugs or psychiatric is mask up your real sensory perception, which you must keep to live a fuller interactive and potential filled life! My name is Shant, and I have experienced these substances. Growing up in Los Angeles with the highest peer pressure, movies and entertainment, I ended up trying more than what was healthy for me. We read the headlines, we know the adverse effects, at times irreversible, but why do we return to it? I would like to crack open that addictive cycle and declining choice. I have come a little some way, but still see far too much impulse around, addiction, abuse, manipulation, abusive marketing, and bad choices. Let me take away or reduce that gnashing inviting pressure. We can get private about your problems. I have a certified coaching degree, which might not say much, but I know how the bait and hook industry humiliates good natured human beings. Coaches don’t dig up blame or painful stories to try to justify this or that, pat you on the back and expect you to come back. A true coach hears you out and drops all other distractions to get you back in the game. I hope you try me, in this way, and let’s walk together in recovery. No long term lessons or 12 steps, get strong, get right, and lead your life again. Amen,
