The Alzheimer's Association's Learning Together is a program for individuals experiencing early symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease (or a related dementia), and their care partners.  It is a six-week program held in Indianapolis and Fort Wayne which provides education, support, and socialization among peers who face similar circumstances, in a tolerant and accepting atmosphere. Topics discussed will include:
  - medical overview
  - legal overview
  - safety issues
  - emotional issues

To participate, individuals must have a physician’s diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease (or a related dementia) and acknowledge the disease. Group participants should have some communication skills and a desire to attend the program sessions.  A care partner (spouse, adult child, or friend) will also be expected to attend.  A screening process will take place prior to the start of the program.
