The Department of Health Services (DHS) Office for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing (ODHH) has been working with multiple state and community partners to raise awareness related to the risk of dementia for individuals who are deaf, hard of hearing, and deafblind.
During the webinar, participants will learn about the 5-year partnership between ODHH and the Wisconsin statewide Building Our Largest Dementia (BOLD) Infrastructure for Alzheimer’s disease grant. Participants will also learn about communication tips, assistive technology, and resources to minimize the impact of untreated hearing loss and dementia on our aging population.
