Review of this course: I have found the training very interesting and full of information. People with dementia often communicate much to us through their behaviour. At times, this behaviour might cause problems for us, but it is always important to try to understand the reason for the behaviour rather than just try to stop it; to wonder why, rather than assuming that it is because of the dementia. Many behaviours that we find challenging are an expression of feelings or needs, so our response must attempt to address these. The better we know the person, the more able we will be to understand the reason and respond to the person’s needs. I consider some possible reasons behind seven kinds of behaviour: being aggressive, walking, difficulties related to use of the toilet, refusing to do something, making accusations, repetitive language and making noises, inappropriate sexual expression.–Alina Loredana Teodorescu
