Every year, new advances are made in diagnosis, assessment, and intervention related to cognitive communication disorders of dementia. In this program, we’ll summarize these key advances so you can translate them into your everyday clinical practice. We’ll begin with a brief background on dementia and cognitive communication disorders, followed by a discussion of evidence-based interventions and clinical cases that illustrate real-world application. You’ll also be provided with a complete list of references and recommended sources for further study.
