This webinar will explore how community-based services can be designed to better support people living with dementia in underserved communities. The webinar will focus on two case studies. The first example is from Alzheimer's Los Angeles, who uses innovative strategies to make education accessible for the Latino community. The second example is from Reducing Disability in Dementia (RDAD), an exercise and behavioral management program which leverages the use of mobile technology to deliver the RDAD program to people with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
