SUMMARY:Can Do! Reframing Dementia Support and Education to Focus on Strengths and Resilience
DESCRIPTION:Living well with dementia is deeply influenced by the mindsets of both people living with dementia and their caregivers.

In this webinar\, participants will learn about this strengths-based support and education program\, hear inspirational stories\, and gain new perspectives designed to reframe both the dementia journey and the caregiving experience. \nParticipants will also be introduced to the Learning to Live with Dementia Facilitator Toolkit\, a resource developed to strengthen facilitator skills\, confidence\, and capacity to deliver structured\, group-based education and engagement. \nDirect questions to NADRC-Webinars@rti.org \nPlease note: \nNADRC webinars are free and open to the public. \nNADRC webinars are recorded and will be posted at https://nadrc.acl.gov/. \nClosed captioning is available during the webinar and included in all recordings

SUMMARY:Diagnosis and Management of Dementia in Adults with IDD
DESCRIPTION:The National Task Group on Intellectual Disabilities and Dementia Practices is hosting an educational series called “Advancing Dementia-Capable Primary Care: Supporting Adults with Intellectual Disabilities.” This series supports primary care clinicians participating in the CMS GUIDE Model and others serving adults with IDD\, including Down syndrome. The series provides a practical\, step-by-step framework spanning early identification\, diagnostic evaluation\, medical management\, and post-diagnosis care planning. \n1 Free CME contact credit will be provided upon attendance and completion of post webinar survey. \nThis session will be on “Diagnosis and Management of Dementia in Adults with IDD.” Diagnosing dementia in adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) presents unique clinical challenges that can lead to under-recognition or delayed diagnosis. This one-hour educational activity equips primary care clinicians with a structured\, IDD-informed diagnostic approach\, including how to adapt standard dementia evaluations\, identify reversible conditions that mimic dementia\, and assess likely dementia etiology. Participants will gain practical guidance on avoiding common diagnostic pitfalls and determining when specialty referral is indicated. \nPresenter: Seth Keller\, MD.
