Scams and the Aging Brain - Erik Lande, PhD, Justin Gauthier, PhD, & Alexis Olson, PhD
We will explore how normal age-related brain changes can cause a senior to be more susceptible to financial scams and exploitation. We will explore relevant clinical and practical research and discuss how this differs from financial problems seen in dementia. Strategies for identifying problems with financial capacity and for supporting seniors will be discussed. Maintaining a senior’s independence as much as possible will be emphasized.
