Strengthening Dementia Care: Lessons from the Tennessee Dementia ECHO Project

Join us for an engaging session that shines a light on the connection between dementia and intellectual disabilities, including the unique challenges faced by people with Down syndrome and others who are at higher risk. Discover how the TN Dementia ECHO Project is transforming dementia care by strengthening the workforce through virtual learning, collaboration across disciplines, and practical strategies tailored to this community. Participants will walk away with useful tools, real-world examples, and actionable solutions to better support individuals with intellectual disabilities and dementia—whether you’re a caregiver, healthcare professional, or organization dedicated to improving quality of life.
