VISUAL LITERACY AND ALZHEIMER'S CAREGIVING: WEBINAR WITH JON WAGNER (Professor Emeritus UC Davis)
This webinar explores visual literacy skills and materials as a resource for caregivers of people living with Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia. Illustrations and commentary focus on the significance of such skills and materials in two key contexts: (1) interactions between people who live with Alzheimer’s, their family members and immediate care-givers, and (2) interactions between the lay public, Alzheimer’s care coordinators and policy makers. Jon Wagner also explores with webinar participants how greater use of visual literacy and materials in these two contexts can prompt us to reassess ideas about informed consent, assisted communication, interpersonal recognition and trust-and about the challenges of using images and text to respectfully depict the humanity of other vulnerable populations.
