description People with intellectual disabilities are living longer. As a result, dementia is becoming increasingly common in intellectual disability care. What is dementia exactly? Why do people with Down syndrome have a high risk of developing it? And what about people with intellectual disabilities without Down syndrome? How do you establish a diagnosis? Who is involved in this process? What does dementia do to a person? What is the impact on fellow residents and caregivers? And how do caregivers support changes in functioning and behaviour? In The caregiver’s companion to intellectual disabilities and dementia, expert Alain Dekker answers the one hundred most frequently asked questions from professional caregivers, family caregivers and students in clear language, based on the latest scientific knowledge and experiences in daily practice.
