Alzheimer’s: Where Do We Go From Here? – Houston
Dear Friends,
I am Arthur Craig, Pastor of Woodhaven Baptist Deaf Church in Houston. At
Woodhaven we have two of our members, Lisa and Norm Smith, who have spent
the past six years helping look after a family member with Alzheimer’s.
Many of you may have attended Lisa’s presentation at the Southern Baptist
Conference for the Deaf in 2008 titled “Alzheimer’s: Where Do We Go From
Here?”
When Lisa’s aunt was diagnosed in 2004 with Alzheimer’s, their family was
caught off guard. They did not know what to do or where to turn.
Since then they have spent a considerable amount of time, effort, and money
learning about dementia care. The legal, financial, medical and personal
aspects of this are complex and finding help is often frustrating. To help
others who might be facing the same dilemmas they have put together a series
of online presentations. The first one is FREE and will last about 70
minutes on August 24, 2010 at 8 pm central time.

This first presentation is focused on the hearing. The intent is to record
the class and have one of our Woodhaven folks do a video in ASL for the deaf
to watch later.
This information is good and should be passed on to anyone you know who
might be facing dementia. I’ll let you know when the ASL version is
completed.
Regards,
Arthur Craig
Pastor, Woodhaven Baptist Deaf Church
