It has been predicted that the number of people living with dementia will more than double over the next 20 years. This highlights that dementia is one of the fastest-growing clinical populations and is significant for speech and language therapists. Communication is a core aspect in managing all patients with dementia; however, there is not much agreement in the clinical setting as to what speech and language therapy services should be providing for these patients. This text addresses language and cognitive communication, describing assessment and intervention, across impairment-based and functional approaches. The book - provides an update on some of the current evidence around assessing and managing dementia - shows how this applies in a clinical setting - guides investigation into which approaches are available and where to look for ideas.
