A talk by Kathleen Watson, “Effective Communication with Older Adults” examines how communication constantly changes, creating challenges as the different generations try to communicate with each other. We will examine why good communication techniques (both speaking and listening) are a crucial life skill for people of any age. We will cover age-related changes that impact communication and ways to work around those changes. Other topics include ageism and communication, techniques for communicating with persons with dementia, how to handle difficult topics, and setting boundaries
