Changes in Communication & Behaviour - Lunchtime Learning Series

As dementia progresses, there are changes in communications abilities (i.e trouble finding the right words when speaking, or language comprehension). Often, there will be changes in behaviour as well, and these can range greatly (i.e. less initiative or interest in common activities, increases in agitation, anxiety, or exit seeking).
