Understanding and Managing Difficult Behaviors
Presented by Karyn Skultety, PhD, Director of Behavioral Health, Institute on Aging's On Lok Lifeways

This session will review common behavioral problems encountered by providers who work with older adults. We will discuss ways to better understand these problems and ways to apply basic behavioral principles to these issues. In addition, we will discuss why the problems can be so frustrating for providers and care teams and ways to address these frustrations to be more effective in your approach. The session will include lecture, discussion, and video clips demonstrating a behavioral approach.

 

Institute on Aging offers monthly scheduled trainings and case studies for professionals. Speakers cover topics ranging from how to communicate with clients suffering from dementia to understaning the role of spirituality when working with aging and disabled clients.
