DEMENTIA
The 'Transforming the Deaf Dementia Experience' Project, is a community interest initiative that supports Deaf people living with dementia and their carers. The project aims to promote a better understanding of dementia by developing accessible resources, information, and toolkits in British Sign Language (BSL).
The Project Team also provide BSL dementia friendly training for healthcare professionals, charities, organisations and dementia friendly communities and conduct research to determine the current diagnosis and provision of Dementia support.
Below you will find some helpful BSL information and resources.

UNIVERSITY OF STIRLING - DEMENTIA VIDEOS
BDA Scotland’s dementia project focuses on the Dementia Services Development Centre (DSDC) within the Iris Murdoch Building at the University of Stirling. The Iris Murdoch Building opened in 2002 and was the first dementia-friendly public building in the UK. It provides visual examples for those looking to understand how they can make their space more supportive and friendly for someone living with dementia.
