Let’s Talk: Aging and Sensory Loss: Considerations for Direct Support Professionals

This month’s Let’s Talk webinar discussion emphasizes the importance of awareness and recognition of vision and hearing changes as we age, as well as the crucial role direct support Professionals (DSPs) play in supporting these changes for the people they support. Aging in place for people with complex needs requires a collaborative approach, involving the person, family members, DSPs, healthcare providers, and community professionals. Early identification and intervention with sensory loss are vital to maintaining a supportive, empowering, and accessible living environment.

On this month’s Let’s Talk webinar, Kelly Patterson and Renu Minhas from DeafBlind Ontario join NADSP’s John Raffaele to discuss their International Journal for Direct Support Professionals article,  Aging and Sensory Loss: Considerations for Direct Support Professionals.  ASL interpretation will be available during the webinar along with closed captions.
