It is estimated that there are nearly 60,000 people in the United States living with some form of Fronto-Temporal Dementia, yet many healthcare professionals know very little about it…which is one of the reasons it usually takes more than three years to get an accurate diagnosis! In this session we will dig deeper into what sets this type of dementia apart from others, including Alzheimer’s, and will explore the three sub-types of this disease, as well as the symptoms of each.

Objectives:

• Recognize the differences between FTD and Alzheimer’s disease
• Understand the symptoms and care challenges common in each sub-type of FTD
• Evaluate specific care techniques to best support individuals living with different forms of this dementia-related disease
