Document Summary
Speech-language pathologists involved in evaluation, establishing communication program, short-term intervention, training caregivers, consultation, & periodic assessment. Functional maintenance programs: program for individuals with chronic conditions who need limited intervention by skilled professionals. Progression of memory difficulties: episodic memory (recent events) Noticeable changes in attention span & planning: semantic memory. Stronger associations; greater representation in brain: procedural memory. How to maximize communication: reduce demands on episodic memory, support working memory, modify physical, social, and conversational environment to evoke positive fact memory, emotions, and actions. Use recognition memory instead of recall memory: -easier to recognize than recall (especially if provided choices) Provide choices for responses question is too open ended; requires recall: what did you do last night , did you watch the basketball game last night? , did you have pizza or fish for dinner? . Supplement verbal communication with written information: label items & rooms around house, written instructions in obvious location bathroom, jewelry box, underwear, silverware.
