Center for Applied Research in Dementia

Our company specializes in translating research into practice. Our primary emphasis is the development of non-pharmacologic interventions for persons with dementia and related disorders. We also have worked with other populations that have memory and/or cognitive impairments. We train professional and lay caregivers in effective interventions for challenging behaviors associated with dementia and related disorders, and we use a train-the-trainer model to facilitate dissemination of training within organizations. Our manuals and other training materials are in use in Europe, Asia, North America and Australia, and have been been translated into six different languages. We also provide distance training around the world.
