CAREGIVER EDUCATION . . . . . . . . . .

Because we wanted as many people as possible to have access to our Caregiver Education Workshops, we converted six of the most popular topics into a lecture format. Each of those lectures was recorded, with both audio and video, and is available here.

To view the videos, click your preferred media format below the lecture title. Most people will be able to play the Windows Media version, which will play the video in another window. Clicking the RealPlayer version will download the presentation to your computer, but you will need to have RealPlayer already installed on your computer to view the video. If you don't already have this media player, you can download it here for free.

Hand-outs for each presentation are also available in PDF format in both regular and large print. You can print the hand-outs in order to follow along with the presentation or just to read without downloading the video. Options are also listed below each of the titles.
