Researchers at the University of Kansas School of Nursing are
seeking nursing homes to test the new online version of the evidence-based Changing Talk
(CHAT) communication training program.
CHAT educates staff about reducing elderspeak (infantilizing communication) and results in reduced behavioral symptoms and need
for psychotropic medication for residents with dementia.
The new online version,
consists of three one-hour interactive modules that are completed online from anywhere the
Internet can be accessed.
There is no cost to the facility and continuing
education credit is available.
Please contact Dr. Kristine Williams at (913) 588-1673 or kwilliams1@kumc.edu for more information about CHATO.
