This conference, sponsored by the Cleveland Clinic and the LBDA, is a forum for research scientists, clinicians, and other health care professionals to share the latest information from each of their disciplines. In addition to highlighting the progress made in the various areas of research, this conference will provide an opportunity for patients and caregivers to be exposed to new knowledge and to interact with researchers, clinicians and other patients and caregivers.
Individuals who have been diagnosed with Lewy Body Dementia, their family members and their advocates are invited to attend.

Not only will we be attending, we are joining Rosemary Dawson in presenting a poster on Tuesday, June 25th.
Poster: Non-drug Approaches for Care Partners to Use When a Loved One Living with LBD has Behavioral Changes.
Presenters: Rosemary Dawson, Ed.D.; Helen Whitworth, MS, BSN; and Jim Whitworth, LBDA co-founder
You can click on the buttons below to get copies of the whole poster and of a slide presentation that Rosemary made from the poster information. Both will open in separate windows. Warning: These two files are very large and should not be opened on a cellular devise. The poster will appear very small on your browser; zoom in to see it better. You will need a PowerPoint program on your computer to view the slides.
