Detail:

sba_logo_color State Bar of ArizonaAlzheimer’s and other dementias do not typically announce their arrival in a sudden manner. The gradual onset of the disease means that subtle changes in a person’s behavior or performance may not be initially recognized as dementia. Co-workers and colleagues are frequently one of the first to notice changes. This program addresses dementia issues as they pertain to attorneys and judges.

Program highlights include:

  • Recognizing symptoms of dementia, treatment options and ongoing care
  • Duties and obligations of Arizona lawyers and judges and practical approaches to follow if one suspects a colleague or client has dementia
  • Resources for patients, families and caregivers
