Covering assessment to plan of care and discharge, Here's How to Treat Dementia is the only comprehensive field manual speech-language pathologists need while working with individuals with dementia. With this timely resource, therapists can readily access the information needed to assess, treat, and document care.

The authors provide functional tips and intervention strategies that encourage clinicians to utilize critical thinking to formulate personalized care plans specific to a patient's strengths and weaknesses. This user-friendly manual also includes reproducible forms and handouts for patient/family education, documentation, and data collection.
