7 Step Dementia Care Plan

The 7 Step Dementia Care Plan is an evidence-based, step-by-step guide to treating dementia for Speech-Language Pathologists. In this book you will find a guideline for treating dementia, broken down into 7 steps of treatment, including how to assess and provide treatment, seven educational handouts to provide to the patients and their families, and twelve functional therapy activities. The activities included in this workbook are functional, evidence-based, and patient-centered activities that will keep your patients engaged and motivated. While Speech-Language Pathologists cannot reverse the diagnosis, they can help the person with dementia maintain quality of life and independence for as long as possible. This workbook can help new and seasoned clinicians navigate the complexities of dementia treatment with thorough education, evidence-based therapy, and compensatory strategies to better maintain the disease.
