Dementia Dictionary vs Ontex to you

Working together to improve our understanding of Dementia. One of the biggest challenges for people that work or live with people who have dementia is the progressive change in communication that occurs throughout the stages of the disease. In most forms of dementia the ability to speak normally will be impaired and therefore the brain will find new ways to communicate via actions, noises, behaviours and body language, this is called the Language of Dementia. The Dementia Dictionary “a freely available service” allows us to translate these into a recognised language. Working with a global network of Dementia Interpreters we will share experiences and ultimately help you to re-connect with the people that you support. We believe the best people to help create the content of the Dementia Dictionary are the people who have 'first hand' experiences of supporting people with dementia. Care professionals (at every level and care setting) and families who have or are supporting people with dementia combined have so much knowledge to share that will be for the benefit of everyone. Through the global Dementia Interpreters forum, Dementia Interpreters will discuss different behaviours, noises, actions, emotions, body language and translate these into an understandable language. These translations will then be published into the Dementia Dictionary.
