The Validation Method is a way of communicating with those that are cognitively impaired in a way that provides acceptance and empathy. Validation approaches and techniques are used to meet the confused person where they are; often these techniques produce positive changes in their ability to connect and engage. Additionally, behaviors are better understood, and therefore the likelihood of developing effective intervention strategies increases.
This virtual session will help you communicate more effectively with a loved and help them become more socially engaged. Please join us for this informative event—register today!
