ASA’s professional education and training services and programs use 10 main topics to structure our knowledge offerings; these ten topics form the basis for the subject-matter organization of our annual conference and webinars, and of our web site. You can most quickly locate articles and other resources relating to these specific topics by selecting one from the main Education or side navigation menus.
This is the starting page for topics related to Caregiving, which covers such areas as Care Transitions, Chronic Care, End-of-Life Issues and Palliative Care, Home-based Services and Products, Intergenerational Families and Long Term Care. |

Steve Lehman: Caregiver, Legislator, Collaborator
Steve Lehman, the 65-year-old manager of the SCAN Senior Resource Center in Ventura, Calif., says he’s “pleased [that] my tendency to be a public servant matches my full-time employment.” As the center’s manager, he’s involved on every operational level, from setting up chairs for the elder yoga class (as he was when Aging Today caught up with him) to the more complex task of forging partnerships with other organizations to gain resources.

Webinar - Under-Recognized Non-Motor Symptoms of Parkinson's Disease
Event Date:
03.12.2013 10:00 AM - 11:00 AM
Time Zone:
(GMT-08:00) Pacific Time
Short Description:
Presented by Parkinson’s Disease Foundation, as part of their PD ExpertBriefings series.
Full Description:
Are your "invisible symptoms" your most roblematic? Immense advances have been made in the treatment of motor symptoms of Parkinson's. Yet our understanding of the non-motor symptoms first described by James Parkinson in the 19th century has lagged behind, with advances in the past ten years just beginning to expand our knowledge.
At the same time, these symptoms are often the most challenging for people living with Parkinson's, their care partners and their doctors. If treated effectively, non-motor symptoms - particularly lesser known symptoms such as fatigue, vision problems, sweating and crying - can be the most important determinant in improving quality of life in Parkinson's.
Find out more about what you can do to take charge of these symptoms, by joining PDF and Dr. Chaudhuri for a one-hour PD ExpertBriefing discussing the topic.
