An all-in-one guide for helping caregivers of individuals with
brain injury or degenerative disease to address speech, language,
voice, memory, and swallowing impairment and to distinguish these
problem areas from healthy aging. Advances in science mean that
people are more likely to survive a stroke or live for many years
after being diagnosed with a degenerative disease such as
Parkinson's. But the communication deficits that often accompany a
brain injury or chronic neurologic condition-including problems
with speech, language, voice, memory, and/or swallowing-can
severely impact quality of life. If you are a caregiver coping with
these challenges, this all-in-one book can help you and your loved
one. Written by a team of experts in speech-language pathology,
each chapter focuses on a different aspect of caregiving and
features relatable patient examples. Providing answers to common
questions, definitions of complex medical terms, and lists of
helpful resources, this book also: * touches on expected,
age-related changes in communication, memory, swallowing, and
hearing abilities, to name a few * offers practical strategies for
caregivers to cope with speech, language, and voice problems and to
maximize their loved one's ability to communicate * reveals how
caregivers can assist their loved ones with swallowing challenges
to maintain good nutrition and hydration * provides crucial
information on how caregivers can handle grief and take care of
themselves during the caregiving process * explains how to
incorporate the arts, as well as a loved one's hobbies and
interests, into their communication or memory recovery This
comprehensive book will allow readers to take a more informed and
active role in their loved one's care. Contributors: Marissa
