People with Alzheimer’s, other dementias, head injuries, or autism can all be vulnerable to financial mistreatment. Help protect them. We teach you how.

Some people who are neurologically impaired have difficulties in financial decision-making. Doctors and psychologists are often asked to assess someone’s capacity to make financial decisions, for legal purposes. Thus, lawyers, courts, doctors and psychologists all need to understand the latest evidence-based tools for assessing decision-making capacity. Financial advisors and those with loved ones affected by brain-based disorders need to understand the issues involved. Our continuing education workshops provide this information.

Our primary instructor, Dr. Valerie Stone, is a recognized international expert in assessing judgment in financial situations for people with brain-based disorders. The information Dr. Stone provides in our workshops helps ensure that very important decisions about financial competency are the right decisions.
