Autism and dementia webinar
The webinar focuses on the care needs of autistic people living with dementia, and how the interaction between autism and dementia calls for personalised care and support
Autistic people living with dementia often face distinct challenges in accessing appropriate care and support. These challenges may stem from a lack of understanding about how autism and dementia interact, and how best to adapt care to meet individual needs.
- How can health and care professionals identify signs of dementia in autistic people, and ensure these are not overlooked or misinterpreted?
- How can care and support be adapted to effectively meet the unique needs of autistic people living with dementia?
- How can organisations work to improve awareness and develop practical guidance for autistic people with dementia, their families, and professionals?
This webinar features Dr Madeleine Walpert, Deputy Head of Research and Publications at Dementia UK; Dr Gavin Stewart, Senior Postdoctoral Research Fellow, King’s College London; and Dr Chris Knifton, Admiral Nurse and Associate Professor of Neurocognitive and Neurodevelopmental Education, De Montfort University.
