Dementia in a non-Dementia World: Communication and Cognition

Dementia is a disease of the brain that is both progressive and debilitating. It is caused by diverse illnesses of the brain and, depending on what part of the brain is effected, the disease in turn determines which emotional, psychological and physical difficulties people living with dementia (PLWD) may present. This course offers insight in the how dementia affects a person's cognition and communication. It offers knowledge of various types of dementia and their related cognitive challenges from a neuroscience perspective: affecting a person's senses, speech, communication and learning processes.

It has been widely documented that PLWD have specific communication needs, dependent on their individual diagnoses, and further that carers’ and health professional's awareness and understanding of the brain and its functions often falls outside the remit of their generic training. However, an understanding of the dementia brain is important to supporting the PLWD because the disease resides in the brain and can affect the entire body.

Communication is an integral core human need: the everyday activity of talk bonds people together. The ability to express one's emotions coherently and to others, make decisions, and generate and share ideas is essential to feeling part of both the local community and wider society. Whilst communication is free, there are however cost implications for communication work undertaken in dementia and indeed all health and social care settings, by virtue of the allocation of time necessary to facilitate communicating with those living with dementia on a daily, hour to hour basis. Increasing concerns have identified the inefficacy and impracticality of applying a universal, ‘one size fits all’ pathway to the care and support needs of those with dementia. This course provides knowledge, skills and strategies to communicate effectively with PLWD.

Language, pragmatics and semantic difficulties are unobserved until later in the dementia disease, as opposed to early onset signs and symptoms presented in a range of different types of dementia: for example, confusion and memory difficulties. Examples can be seen in the case of Alzheimer’s disease, where the instance of PLWD trying to find the right words is common, frequently impacting on their ability to find the right words to enable them to enunciate and communicate simple everyday needs. These words are generally high frequency words such as ‘comb’, ‘brush’ and' ‘bread’, which can be replaced by words such as ‘thingy’ and ‘stuff’; once again this is often associated with the normal ageing process but it is the ever-deceasing ability to communicate as the dementia disease progresses. This course will helps students understand language, pragmatic and semantic difficulties presented in PLWD.

Communication Training (Professional / Personal) & Public Speaking
Whether your goal is personal or professional, speaking is a predominantly physical activity, relying on a body, a voice, a breath, a rhythm (diction) and an emotion (the imagination and the sensations, reflecting the involvement of the speaker in his speech. How to send a clear message? How to make the difference, to make an impression? How to regain self-confidence and control the management of his emotions? Knowing how to speak in public is now a necessity for the company and in the company. From a personal point of view, this is a vector for better relationships and optimal messages. On the phone, in a meeting, in front of a client or a banker (...), your public speaking must be effective and efficient with clear, simple and powerful messages, creating a match between the message received and the message sent. Simple and pragmatic tools will be presented and then put into practice for: generating listening ● making an impression ● fostering trust ● generating need ● motivating teams by explaining a strategy ● getting messages across within groups. Controlled, the method allows: • improve self-confidence and stress management with the development of the speaker's fluency (verbal-bodily), his public speaking and his sense of repartee and improvisation • to work on his ease, leadership, his NLP, his charisma, his creativity and to go towards a certain personal development, through a set of scenarios * improve the characteristics of the spoken voice (timbre, pitch, intention, flow) Completed by basic exercises (diction, voice, presence, breathing, presentation, time management ...), role plays, improvisations and simulations will be set up. With the key words: pronunciation, rhetoric, verbal and non-verbal communication, diction / articulation, the sense of repartee, structured speech (...). The goal is not only to focus on verbal communication but also on nonverbal communication, so as to make the control of his body, his voice (...), a real and lasting strength. Depending on the interaction between the trainer - coach and the one who consults, there is no single way to operate: each type of session depends on the needs and difficulties of each. In all cases, it is very often a question, while adapting to your own needs and after having precisely diagnosed your desired objective and the blockages encountered, to combine the theory (the bases of the studied concept, for example NLP / information asymmetry / the "how to say no" / the tools of non-verbal communication or the application of kinaesthesia) and its application (through exercises and direct applications). For example, are discussed: - the fundamentals of public speaking: breathing, gaze and body language - diction and elocution: rhythm and range of your voice - management of your emotions and your emotional overflow (example: stress) - work on the body, to amplify your charisma and ensure consistency between your message and your body ... with the aim of: * Enhance your presentation and arouse interest by focusing on your strengths, your qualities ... your personality * Match the content and form of your message * Improve your charisma, your self-confidence and the benefits of your emotional intelligence Postgraduate School Training & Ivy league college in the United States, specialized and worked for over 13 years, in Europe and North America, in the field of communication and public speaking in renowned public and private international institutions, involved in forums and conferences, and focused on two areas: training and coaching, with the key words pedagogy and careful methodology. PLACES - Locations: Geneva - Lausanne - Friborg - Neuchâtel - Montreux - Basel - Sion - Sierre - Morges - Bienne. But currently and until further notice, only by videoconference in accordance with national recommendations on Covid. These sessions also seem to be perfectly unanimous since they have the advantages of live (example: quality of the interaction), without its disadvantages (example: loss of travel time) with additional advantages (example: notes that can be re-read on the chat). In this context, the videoconference sessions for which you asked me to seem to suit everyone perfectly, take place very optimally and generate a certain enthusiasm (and a certain enthusiasm). That is why, at your request, I continue to offer this option. Take good care of yourself and yours! PROGRAM A la carte program: evaluated and adapted to each need.

Conversational English and IELTS, TOEFL, TOEIC, SAT preparation.
A certified English Teacher| Master’s degree| Started teaching 9 years ago| Taught all ages and levels| Specializing in Conversational English| IELTS, TOEFL, TOEIC, SAT preparation. My teaching approach is designed to develop communication skills above all. We watch or read materials, such as videos, articles, stories, poems, then discuss them; we act out situations from everyday life; we take positions and practice debates. However, this doesn’t mean that we just practice speaking. I also have to make sure that the learner is not running in a circle. I’m here to ensure that they do not keep repeating the same mistakes or keep using the same expressions over and over in conversation. In order to keep making progress, I take my student on a journey that involves: • Improving their grammar. • Fixing their pronunciation. • Enriching their vocabulary by learning to use new words and common idioms. By the end of this course, you should be able to speak English fluently and confidently. PS: Currently, I’m working on my PhD thesis in English literature. Because of my academic specialty, I also help with academic writing and creative writing.
