Ideas-to-accomodate

Ideas about work accommodation

• Try to understand what may be triggering Naresh’s abrupt behaviour with customers and co-workers. Explore ways of helping him cope with or avoid these triggers.
• Assess not only how dementia is hampering his job performance, but also how it isn’t. Consider his remaining strengths, not just his deficits.
• Learn more about dementia by using the resources on this website or contact us.
• If Naresh’s co-workers know about his condition, provide myth-busting information to help them overcome their preconceptions about dementia. Address any concerns they have about how working alongside Naresh will impact them. Contact us for a presentation at work.
• Encourage Naresh to contact us for information about First Link^®, a program that connects people with dementia with a variety of information and support within their own communities.
