Welcome to the sixth and last Skill Building block.

In Block 1 you learned how to center yourself; in Block 2 you practiced observing and calibrating; in Block 3 you learned about how to find a respectful tone of voice; in Block 4 you learned how to make respectful eye contact, and in Block 5 you learned how to find a respectful distance. Each Block is a step towards building the ‘validating attitude’. This approach allows you to connect to older adults more easily and quickly.

If you are just joining Skill Building Blocks, Welcome! We hope you will go back and take the other lessons in order to complete the ‘validating attitude’ and have everything you need. 

Please complete each section of this training at your own tempo. You don’t need to do them all at once. It’s recommended to repeat sections to integrate the knowledge and skills.
