Alzheimer’s: Dealing with Difficult Behaviors by Jennifer Evans Jennifer will discuss how Alzheimer’s Disease affects the brain and how that may cause some of what we may perceive to be difficult behaviors.  She will also briefly cover some of the ways that Alzheimer’s disease may manifest differently in people with intellectual disabilities.  Finally, Jennifer will share ways that we have found to "deal with" or work around common behavior issues.
