AnnotationCommunication difficulties are common in dementia and can cause distress for both the person affected and the carers involved. This practical book aims to help all those who want to communicate better with people with dementia. It explains how the normal communication process works and how this may break down for people with dementia, and gives practical advice on how to respond to common verbal communication problems. In addition, it describes the use of memory albums, television and video in improving communication. It also presents and explains how to use the CLIPPER lifestyle improvement plan and profile, which is included separately in the book. (AKM).
