Description

Assessing and responding to the communication needs of people with dementia who have lost their ability to speak is a crucial aspect of supporting those affected by this condition. This guide provides practical tools and strategies for improving relationships between individuals with dementia, their families, and professional caregivers through person-centred communication.

The book outlines the challenges faced by people living with advanced dementia and offers evidence-based solutions for building on their existing communication repertoire using nonverbal means such as imitation, facial expressions, sounds, movement, eye gaze, and touch. With accessible guidance and case studies based on the authors' research, this guide can be used to develop interactions without words with people living with dementia.
