Contact Without Words at Dementia - Book Presentation by Nanda Niemeijer — Bibliotheek Helmond, Helmond
Description was written before the event

As dementia progresses, language comprehension fades. How do you motivate someone who has lost interest in everything? What do you do when behaviour becomes inappropriate, and how do you persevere as a caregiver when you are completely exhausted?

In her book Contact Without Words, Nanda Niemeijer shows that communication remains possible even without spoken language. This book presentation at Bibliotheek Helmond explores that theme.
