Epilepsy Alliance Ohio Professional Seminar Series

Speaker: Steve Hutton, Ed.D, EAO Director of Community Education

About the Seminar: To ensure the viability of your organization during these turbulent economic times, it is imperative that every employee in the organization performs at a high level. Inside every organization are those employees who show up to work everyday and do just enough to justify their existence within the organization. These employees are commonly referred to as "invisible employees". Every organization has them. In order to grow and prosper, every organization needs a plan of action and strategies to counsel and guide their "invisible employees" into a high performing individual that adds value to the organization. By attending this session, participants will learn strategies to re-energize their clients, staff and even themselves.

About the Seminar: Dementia is a hot topic these days and it seems to be touching all of our lives. Many people are fearing the worst and frequently confuse normal signs of aging with real red flags for Dementia. Join us for an interactive, super engaging workshop that will identify the true signs of brain failure. The learner will develop better observational skills to recognize and intervene effectively when behavioral challenges occur. Learners will also develop new skills related to approach, cueing, and ability to connect with people affected by dementia. The workshop emphasizes the value of matching helping behaviors to the person's needs and retained abilities to promote a sense of control and self-direction. The workshop will also address typical issues that occur from early stages of the condition, through mid-disease, and into the final care concerns that are part of the progression.

About the Seminar: What you eat determines your health, and statistics show you cannot "out train" a poor diet. Nutrition controls our mood and even predisposes us to many diseases like diabetes, cancer, and dementia. The gut brain connection will be discussed and what people can do to create the best defense against symptoms of aging & disease including the MIND and DASH diet. We will also be discussing how aging can cause changes in a person's sensitivity to medications. In addition, complications form medications can arise in people with dementia. The ultimate goal with medications is to prevent exacerbation of cognitive impairment and delirium. Lastly participants will observe two scenarios that demonstrate dementia vs. benign symptoms of natural aging.
