In the early stage of Alzheimer’s disease, families face new questions as they adjust. What does the diagnosis mean? What kinds of plans need to be made? What resources are available to help? This 3-part program provides practical answers to the questions that arise in the early stage. Hear from those directly affected and learn what you can do to cope with the changes that come with an early-stage diagnosis.

Why we know this works

We love this course because as occupational therapy practitioners (OTPs) we meet families in that first year who are grieving and planning at the same time, unsure which comes first. What plans should you make after an early stage Alzheimer's diagnosis? This free three-part Alzheimer's Association program answers that directly, walking through what the diagnosis means, the decisions to line up now, and the resources that can help, with real families sharing how they coped with the changes. Follow the link, add it to your cart on their website, and watch all three parts at no cost on your own schedule.

It is especially important for spouses and adult children supporting someone newly diagnosed who is still largely independent. If your loved one now needs hands-on help with dressing, bathing, or staying safe, skip ahead to the middle stage course in this series instead.
