Behavioural Interventions for Adults with Dementia (2.5 CEUs)

Our Behavioural Interventions for Adults with Dementia Course builds on our Introduction to Behavioural Gerontology course and our Understanding Dementia course. In this course, we explore how we approach behaviours that challenge by adults with dementia, important considerations before intervention, and the types of interventions that have been used in the literature. We go through some of the most common behavioural challenges shown by adults with dementia such as aggression and agitation, wandering, exiting and hoarding and look at the behavioural research that has worked to reduce these behaviours. We also cover how we assess behaviours that challenge in adults with dementia focusing on the challenges of observations and experimental functional analysis and other useful assessments. We expect this course to take just over 2 and a half hours to complete and you will earn 2.5 BACB CEUs for completing the course and passing the mini assessments. A certificate will be sent to the email address you signed up with after completion of the assessments. After purchasing the course you will have access for 90 days.

Free Behavioural Gerontology Resources

FREE Workbook: "Six Steps to Moving into Behavioural Gerontology"

The question we most get asked by BCBAs and ABA students is "what should I do to move into behavioural gerontology?"

To answer this question, we've put together a workbook that guides you through some first steps we think will be really helpful if you are interested in working with older adults. Click the link above to download your complimentary copy of the workbook.

FREE Behavioural Gerontology Reference List

This reference list is packed with over 30 pages of scientific article references that use behaviour analysis to work with older adults. We hope this is a useful study aid for anyone who is new to behavioural gerontology, learning about it in their class or just wants a handy list to browse.

Despite including over 170 individual references, we know that this reference list only touches the tip of the iceberg of what's out there in behavioural gerontology, but we hope it's a useful start to bust the myth that there's barely any research into ABA with older adults!
