Connecting with Kindness: Supporting Adults with Intellectual Disabilities and Dementia
Reena & NTG Canadian Consortium
Created in collaboration with Reena and the NTG Canadian Consortium, this three-part educational video series offers practical guidance for supporting adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) who are affected by dementia.
Designed for three distinct audiences—adults with IDD, professional care workers, and family members—the series explores compassionate communication, effective care strategies, and ways to build meaningful connections.
Through accessible storytelling and clear, engaging visuals, the videos help promote understanding, kindness, dignity, and person-centred support for individuals experiencing the challenges of dementia.
