Title: Adapting Activities for Older Adults with Down Syndrome
Date: Thursday, March 13, 2025
Time: 11:00 a.m. to 12:15 p.m. CDT
Presenter: Katie Frank, PhD, OTR/L
Description:
As adults with Down syndrome age, it may become more difficult for them to independently complete daily activities such as dressing, bathing, eating, and toileting. Their ability to participate in leisure activities and social opportunities may also become compromised. This can be frustrating to the individual as well as their caregivers who question why the individual is no longer able to do the things they used to be able to do so easily. A caregiver may need to offer different assistance or provide more supervision.
In this webinar, Katie Frank, PhD, OTR/L, the occupational therapist at the Adult Down Syndrome Center, will provide strategies to modify or adapt activities for the safety of aging adults with Down syndrome as well as their caregivers. She will also share resources and answer questions during a Q&A session at the end of the webinar.
