Join Free →Approximately five million older Americans are diagnosed with dementia and that number is expected to triple over the next few decades. There is a growing momentum among behavior analysts to practice in the field of dementia care, given that applied behavior analytic procedures have proven to decrease challenging behaviors (e.g., agitation) and increase desirable behaviors (e.g., engagement). It is imperative that clinicians and researchers alike stay current with recent publications in order to provide best practices or ask relevant experimental questions. The purpose of this presentation is to review the five articles published on dementia care in behavior analytic journals. Topics reviewed include challenging behaviors (e.g., hoarding, bizarre speech), verbal behavior and complex learning behaviors.
