SUMMARY:Moving Past the Pandemic- Considerations for Autistic Children and their Caregivers Across Canada
DESCRIPTION:The COVID-19 pandemic has been difficult for many but recent research suggests that the mental health and overall wellbeing of families of children on the autism spectrum have been disproportionally impacted by multiple waves of lockdowns across Canada. In this panel with researchers Dr. Vivian Lee (Carleton University) and Jonathan Weiss (York University)\, as well as researcher-parent Dr. Janet McLaughlin (Wilfred Laurier)\, Matthew Ley (host) will discuss the current research on how autistic children and their families have been impacted by the pandemic but also ways in which families have been able to cope and thrive. Long term implications of the pandemic will be discussed as well as ways we can continue supporting caregivers and families as we move forward past the pandemic.

SUMMARY:OCO Webinar: Dancing with Dementia: Fostering Social Inclusion and Challenging Stigma
DESCRIPTION:Dance may not be the first thing that comes to mind when thinking about caring for someone living with dementia\, but the opportunity to dance has a lot to offer both the care recipient and the caregiver. Beyond the physical benefits of dance\, this webinar will explore the ways in which dance fosters social-inclusion for people living with dementia\, challenges stigma associated with dementia\, and supports the creation of dementia-friendly communities. The session will also offer ways in which dance may be accessed by people living with dementia and their caregivers\, and provide a brief demonstration of what an accessible dance opportunity can look and feel like.\n\nOur Speaker\nRachel Bar is the Director\, Research and Health at Canada’s National Ballet School (NBS). She completed her PhD in psychology at Ryerson University and her post-doctoral fellowship at Trent University’s Trent Centre for Aging & Society. As a dance artist\, she has been part of the multidisciplinary team that developed Baycrest and NBS’ approach to dance programming for older adults. As a researcher\, she has been involved in several projects investigating how and why older adults can benefit from accessible dance innovations\, including older adults living with Parkinson’s disease and dementia.\n\nOther Information\nPlease note that this presentation is available in English only.\nPour de l’information sur nos programmes et services en français\, visitez www.aidantsontario.ca our communiquez avec nous par courriel à info@ontariocaregiver.ca.\nFor any difficulty with registration or any other questions\, please contact us at info@ontariocaregiver.ca or call 1-888-877-1626 X 1011
