And people with certain developmental and intellectual disabilities, including Down syndrome, are more likely than others to develop dementia as they age. ACL and our grantees have several new resources for the aging, disability, and research networks on the topics of promoting brain health and coping with the symptoms of dementia: * The New Jersey Geriatric Education Center is presenting a free, 5-module, web-based program<http://links.govdelivery.com/track?type=click&enid=ZWFzPTEmbWFpbGluZ2lkPTIwMTUwNzI3LjQ3NTczMTkxJm1lc3NhZ2VpZD1NREItUFJELUJVTC0yMDE1MDcyNy40NzU3MzE5MSZkYXRhYmFzZWlkPTEwMDEmc2VyaWFsPTE3NTE3NDk5JmVtYWlsaWQ9YnJ1Y2UuZmlua2VAaWhzLmdvdiZ1c2VyaWQ9YnJ1Y2UuZmlua2VAaWhzLmdvdiZmbD0mZXh0cmE9TXVsdGl2YXJpYXRlSWQ9JiYm&&&100&&&http://www.annenberg.net/ce/5344/5344.html> on dementia care running from Aug. 5 to Sept. 30.
