"Speech therapists can address the issue of eating." speech/language therapy My loved one has started to receive therapy from the speech therapist that does not have anything to do with talking -- it is about mouth issues. The therapist will work on helping him eat, keep food in his mouth, and swallow. Swallowing is something to monitor in Lewy Bodies Dementia, as that can become difficult for a person to do. It is good to think outside the box for support and help for our loved ones. |
This blog is written to provide information and support to persons who are providing care for someone with dementia. A first indicator of dementia is when someone has trouble doing a task once familiar and easy for them. If you have begun to be concerned about someone's memory or cognitive processing, help the person receive a physical exam, to include lab work, and an appointment with a neuropsychologist for an evaluation of memory and cognitive processing.
