Alzheimer's Disease Awareness Presentation [English]

C. Keiko Funahashi
C. Keiko Funahashi

This document discusses three common myths about Alzheimer's disease and provides resources to learn more. It notes that Alzheimer's disease is not a normal part of aging and having a family member diagnosed does not mean one will definitely get it. While the disease impacts memory and other cognitive abilities, people with Alzheimer's can still understand things going on around them to some degree. The document directs readers to Alzheimer Society of Canada websites that discuss how the disease will impact Canadian society and provide facts to separate myth from reality about the disease. It provides credits for images and music used in the presentation.
