What you'll learn

Back by popular demand, Dr Ferguson-Coleman returns to build on her previous training: Deafness with Dementia: Navigating Lived Experiences – a taster.

You’ll learn more about the dynamics of interpreting with Deaf people with Dementia and their family members, as well as Emma’s research into Deafness and Dementia.

Delivered in BSL, in this session Emma will:

    • Recap dementia symptoms
    • Provide a checklist that can be shared with people concerned about cognitive changes
    • Share communication strategies for Deaf people with dementia and their family carers if they are present
    • Provide tools for engagement with the Deaf person with dementia at the point of contact
    • Assist you to consider generational cultural differences for Deaf people becoming older
    • Share information about the BSL cognitive screening test (BSLCST) and how to discuss a range of questions with the assessor

Please feel free to share your questions for Emma ahead of the session. You can email us at: training@linguistpd.co.uk
