Special Technique – Validation Technique:
Instead of correcting a confused statement, caregivers acknowledge the client’s feelings and gently redirect.
Example:

– Client: “I need to go to work now!”
– Caregiver: “I understand you feel ready for work. Let’s have some coffee together and then we can look at today’s schedule.”
